A Beautiful Classroom

Help me give my students a safe, welcoming, and beautiful learning environment (classroom).

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leon's classroom raised $726

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I believe that an environment has the ability to impact your levels of motivation and success. With your help, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming learning environment for all of my students.

I hope to fashion a creative workspace that inspires and motivates my students.

I want students to feel eager to learn when they enter my classroom. Studies have shown that colors around the classroom can stimulate learning and impact students' moods. By adding inspiring posters, colorful backgrounds, and comfortable furniture I hope to influence students' learning in a positive manner.

I know my students will enjoy walking into a vibrant space. Thank you for helping me create something beautiful.
