FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grissett's classroom raised $370

My Project

I adore that young kids are eager to learn new things, especially in a setting that’s calm, cozy, and as welcoming as their home. I believe that small children were at ease learning from home during the pandemic. With that behind them, kids should feel at ease in their learning environment. In my attempt to build a classroom that like home, I have chosen products like hot chocolate maker, rolling cart, folders, broom and things for hanging so that resources are readily available to help students who are experiencing learning loss. A calm reading and learning environment may be created with lights and calming place sign. Dry erase items will offer a mobile areas to draw and to doodle thoughts to soothe students as needed.

These classroom materials will be fundamental for a full year of learning if it has supplies, dry erase stickers, and tools for hanging objects on the wall are contributed, to keep things in good condition and to keep learning going because materials needed will be provided.
