Bringing the Classroom to Life

Help me give my students a comfortable, joyful, and safe classroom environment .

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Birriel's classroom raised $278

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students spend a great part of their day at school, so it is only right for us, teachers, to make the classroom as welcoming as possible. I like to tell my students that school is their second home, since they spend a big part of their lives there.

With these classroom decorations, I will add color to their environment in the hopes to make my students' day brighter.

These borders, motivational posters, and growth mindset decorations will really improve the overall mood of the classroom environment. This project will make a big difference for my students' school life.
