A New Space for the Next Generation

Help me give my students a new rug and materials to aide in having a successful learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Howard's classroom raised $832

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am so excited for my new classroom in the new addition at Webster! These new items will help update my classroom materials to have a positive learning environment for my students.

A large rug provides space for the whole class to comfortably sit together during carpet time.

This area allows for effective learning for different subject areas throughout the day. The pocket charts provides organization for multiple items used within our curriculums. A new rolling drying rack saves space within our classroom, provides the students with a designated area to dry their artwork, and allows our art teacher to have a place for students to store their art projects as they work on them from week to week. The hanging folders and desk organizer will allow me to keep students portfolios for each student and to keep our curriculum easily accessible for daily access. The remaining items on my projects will help me to create a welcoming learning environment for my students.
