A Classroom That Feels Like Home

Help me give my students a safe, welcoming space by providing a rug and stools for alternative seating. These will help create aclassroom that feels like home and supports every child’s need to feel comfortable while they learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia's classroom raised $322

My Project

I love how curious, creative, and full of energy my students are. Every day, they come into the classroom ready to learn, grow, and explore the world around them. They each have unique needs and learning styles, and I want to create an environment where all of them feel comfortable, supported, and inspired.

The rug will give us a soft, inviting space for group discussions, read-alouds, and lessons where students can come together as a class family.

The stools will offer flexible seating options, allowing students to choose where and how they learn best—whether that’s wiggling, kneeling, or finding a quiet corner to focus. These resources will help create a classroom that supports movement, comfort, and choice—key ingredients for engagement and success.
