My Project

My amazing first graders work hard daily in whole group, small group and with individual instruction. There are often several different activities going on during language arts and math time. We only have a handful of working headphones for the iPads (which we use multiple times daily on educational apps) and a few noise cancelling headphones. Both types of headphones are so useful during small group time, or when a student is trying to finish their work while others are at centers.

My wonderful, bright, helpful and engaged students need a supply refresh this spring.

Learning materials like white board markers and erasers, glue and crayons seem to disappear by this time of year. Using white boards, iPads with headphones, and integrating art with the use of these materials makes learning more engaging, creative and fun! Headphones also increase focus and concentration.

Getting these materials would help my diligent students continue to learn and thrive in the classroom!
