Classroom Transformations: Camping, Minions, & More!

Help me give my students learning experiences through classroom transformations! Log seating, lanterns, and a fake campfire will transform a typical classroom into a camp site.

My Project

I have the opportunity to work with kindergarten and first grade multilingual learners. They amaze me each and every day as they work to navigate a school-system, culture, and language that is unfamiliar to them.

Classroom transformations help create learning experiences for students.

Experiences they may not get outside of the classroom (such as camping). Transforming my classroom brings out the wonder, curiosity and excitement while focusing on academics.

"Scientists have determined that is takes approx. 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain - unless it is done with play, in which case it takes 10-20 repetitions." - Dr. Karyn Purvis

Your contribution will help my primary learners grow even faster in an environment supported by experiences and play.

Thank you!

Ms. Rachel Hamilton Elementary School Grades PreK-2
