We're Halfway Through the School Year! Time to Replenish Supplies!

My students need two wobble stools, a stand for our iPads, and additional classroom resources to replace current ones such as dry erase markers and additional magnetic ten frames.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shapiro's classroom raised $334

My Students

My students are 21st-century learners. They love using technology in our classroom and I integrate it as much as possible into all of the subject areas. My students are a bunch of inquisitive learners.

I teach at a small neighborhood school with approximately 560 students.

We first opened our doors in 1950. Arts in education is a major emphasis on our campus. Our school's mission is to develop children into life-long learners as a result of a challenging curriculum, individualized instruction, high expectations, and a nurturing environment with parental and community involvement. My class is made up of 20 diverse students, from students with special needs to those who are identified as gifted and talented. I encourage my students to appreciate each other's differences as well as find similarities among each other. They are very active, creative, and enjoy learning.

My Project

Now that we are halfway through the school year, we have depleted some of our supplies such as dry erase markers.

We also now know what additional supplies we need such as additional wobble stools, an iPad stand, and more sets of magnetic ten frames to keep track of how many days we have been in school.

By purchasing additional wobble stools, more students can use them at the same time. An iPad stand would be helpful for when we use Seesaw, a student-driven online portfolio so that students can easily take photos of their work before recording their voice explaining it.
