Time to Rock and Learn!

Help me give my students educational videos to watch while eating snack and packing up. They need a bit of time to just sit and eat to keep their bodies healthy, and their brains ready to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Baranoski's classroom raised $535

My Students

This year, I have a group of twenty-seven, enthusiastic and diverse first graders of all different abilities. They are always eager to do their best and as their teacher, I strive to give them all the materials necessary to reach all their goals.

It is my goal to help students believe in themselves and their abilities; it is crucial to their success.

​I want them to grow as students not just academically, but personally and socially as well. These students deserve the best!

My Project

As we come near the end of the school year and one of my favorite projects is a memory book that each child creates. All of the journals and art supplies would be used by the children to make these journals special and reflect the fun and exciting time they had in first grade.

The topics covered in these videos are all taught during our rigorous curriculum in first grade.

I would love to get them more excited about learning and either use these educational videos before they learn about a new topic to get them excited or after the lesson is taught to summarize the skill.
