Changing The World Through Ideas

Help me give my students a classroom where they feel safe enough to take academic risk and grow socially and emotionally.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baker's classroom raised $951

My Project

I have loved getting to know my students individually and learning more about their experiences. Although they’re only in 6th grade, many have moved around a few times, or have had a parent on deployment, and have faced other adversities. Despite their hardships, they have still been kind to others, offering true friendship, and have been respectful, all while persevering through their challenges.

This material (laminator, crayons, construction paper, posters, hooks, sharpies, markers, caddies, snacks, and etc.)I hope helps me enforce a safe environment for my students.

They are deserving of a space to express themselves freely, access material at their discretion, and feel confident to take academic risk. I am the homeroom teacher to 24 inclusion students who have different learning abilities and backgrounds. These materials are to encourage my students to try their hardest.
