Calming Classroom

Help me give my students the classroom they deserve. I want to provide students with a welcoming, calming, and comfortable classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Asher's classroom raised $491

My Project

I want to provide my students with a classroom that helps them to feel calm, safe, clean, and motivated. I want our learning space to feel homelike to children. Plants will help to achieve a quiet, homelike area. Plants are also great for teaching science, responsibility (classroom job be to water plants), and more. Other items such as playdoh and the magnetic boards will help students learn using fun hands-on materials. I will use both for centers and guided reading. I also want to ensure that I am equipped with teacher materials needed to help my students be most successful.
