Mrs. Burkhalter from Atoka OK is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

1st Grade FUNding is Fun

Help me give my students new books for our library, new headphones, as we go through those so often, and some that actually fit them. And some really neat LCD tablets for writing.

My Project

I teach first grade. This is my 3rd year teaching and I’m continually making changes and upgrades to my room and one of those my classroom library. I feel like a classroom library is crucial to students learning. Unfortunately I was late to my selection at the beginning of the school year and did not get my library books I chose and had to choose something else for my classroom. While I will forever be thankful for those. I wanted to reach out and see if there was a possibility of any leftover fundings this year. I made a list of things I could really use for my first graders. Some more being for our classroom library. Another being headphones, I would love a good set of headphones for my first-grade students. Some that would fit them and not got out on them every other week. I would also love to have a set of LCD tablets in my room for writing. I think that would be a neat way to engage students and their creativity. I would love a standing desk for myself as well. Thank you Donors Choose for all you do for teachers and students.
