A Loving Place

Help me give my students a safe and welcoming learning environment that feels like home.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nakken's classroom raised $1,687

This project is fully funded

My Project

The list of items I have put together will allow me to create a welcoming classroom where my students can thrive. It provides them with comfortable seating options, games to help them learn life skills, incentives, and so much more.

My students mean the world to me and I aim to make the classroom feel like home.

A safe environment makes for the best space to take risks and expand ones thinking. I aim to not only curate a space for them to learn in, but a space where they can feel and do their best!
