1st Grade Rainbow Students

Help me give my students the necessary decor to feel welcomed and energized for the school day

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $594

This project is fully funded

My Students

This past year and a half has been difficult for not only adults but children as well. It is my mission to create a space for my students to come and feel welcomed and wanted. Creating a colorful and vibrant classroom helps children brighten their day. This decor will also provide the Social/Emotional support that will be demanded. Please help me to create my very first classroom where children will feel comfortable to relax and release. Thank you!

My Project

These materials will allow for children to maintain organization throughout the day. Thus, allowing for more instructional time for me to assist children and developing grade level knowledge. Our roller cart for example, will allow for students to pull necessary materials for literacy stations with minimal support from teachers. Flexible seating will allow for students to make choices for where they would like to sit for independent reading. Lastly, our afternoon math meeting will need to be an all-in-one station where teachers can access routine math materials and flow through instruction in a timely manner.
