A New Start to a New School Year!

Help me give my students a new, energetic, and fun classroom as we try to return to "normal" after a trying school year due to COVID-19.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Comrie's classroom raised $196

My Students

Our students are a wonderful group each year. The classroom these materials will help support is an inclusion classroom. That means the students within the classroom range from students that need a little extra support to students that are gifted.

My students love to learn and I want to encourage their learning excitement.

With students coming from many different ethic and social backgrounds it makes for a wonderful group of kids. This is why I try to maintain a classroom that will encourage all no matter their background.

My Project

When the students enter the classroom for the 2021-2022 school year I want my students to be welcomed into a new classroom. I want them to feel energized and excited to learn. These past 13 months have been very difficult for all the students while dealing with remote learning and different schedule changes. I hope a new classroom theme and decorations will inspire the students and get them excited about the school year. Please help me share these new decorations with my upcoming class and give them a new energy when they enter the classroom!
