Variety Will Bring Success

Help me give my students a bean bag chair and fidget bands for several ways to express themselves and learn in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shelton's classroom raised $330

My Project

In a class of 20 students, there are at least 5 learning styles. Each child learns differently and need experiences learning at individual time frames. The goal of this project is to meet students where they are and take them to new levels of learning.

With a variety of needs and minds walking into each class, we want to find ways for each child to find success.

Different styles of notebook paper will allow students to choose what type works for their needs. The bands for the chairs will allow students to move while they are sitting still in their chairs. The different clipboards will allow students to learn at any location in the classroom. The bean bag chair will allow students to have the chance to learn in a different seating area. Not every child is able to learn in the same way. We would like all students to feel welcome, no matter what their needs may be in their homes or in their academic differences.
