A Classroom That Meets a Student's Wildest Dreams!

My students need class environment that is welcoming, warm, stimulating, and conducive to learning. Privacy boards and flexible seating are designed to make students feel comfortable and secure. This would be perfect with state testing right around the corner!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lafontant's classroom raised $555

My Students

My class is composed of a dynamic group of 5th graders. We come in all colors, shapes, and ability levels and appreciate one another for our differences. My school is a Title 1 school so all of my students are on free or reduced lunch.

Although my students don't come from an affluent background, they are rich in respect to love, tolerance, and happiness.

My students have grown so much from the 1st day they walked into my room. They are eager to learn and teach me a little more about life than I ever thought I could learn from a en year old!

Should you decide to donate to my classroom, I want you to be aware of the impact you are making on the lives of children who have the potential to be great. With your contribution, these students will be able to take on the world and you will play a role in that!

My Project

My project consists of creating a classroom layout that I wished for when I was a student.

I am requesting supplies for a flexible classroom environment because I want students to be stimulated and comfortable while learning.

Beanbags allow my students the ability to find a personal area that they can settle in other than a standard desk. Privacy boards are needed because students have a need to secure their work; especially with standardized testing approaching in a matter of months. Research proves that class environment is one of the top five elements in regard to effective learning. These minor upgrades make a major difference!
