A Place I Want to Learn Everyday

Help me give my students a safe, inviting, and warm environment to learn, read, and lead. I always ask myself: “would I want to work in this sauce everyday?” Help me make this a space they love.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thien's classroom raised $639

My Project

My students are learners! Help me give them the space they want and deserve with an inviting and inclusive space. My classroom should be a place that invites relaxation, risk taking and learning; help me give that to my 8th graders. My students join me in it not only for class, but during their lunch, for book clubs, and for voluntary tutoring. I always ask myself: “is this a space that I would want to learn in?”. Help me refresh and modernize my decor with a rug, lights, posters and more for my students who deserve the very best I can give them.
