My Project

My students are energetic high school freshman, with significant reading and writing deficits, and our goal is to help them improve their abilities. Often, my students have behaviors and sensory issues that impede their learning, and the items in my project list is to make my classroom fun, with rewards and games and comfortable beanbags.

Your donation allows me to provide a fun (learning games), comfortable (beanbag), classroom with incentives (jolly ranchers).

I do tons of games and incentives in order to keep engagement and moral high. When learning is fun and students enjoy being here, they are more likely to put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
