Color, Calm, and Composition: A Fresh Start for Every Learner

Help me give my students composition notebooks, diverse crayons, chair storage pockets, calming corner decor, and a welcoming bulletin board set to stay organized, express themselves, and feel supported in a safe, inclusive learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patt's classroom raised $506

My Project

I love that my students come to school each day with big hearts, curious minds, and a desire to do their best. They come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing something unique to our classroom community. My goal is to create a learning environment where every child feels prepared, included, and proud of who they are.

With your support, my students will each receive a composition notebook to use for writing, reflection, and creativity.

The Crayola Colors of the World crayons will allow them to see themselves—and each other—represented in their artwork and classroom projects. The chair pockets will help us stay organized, giving students easy access to their materials and reducing clutter in our limited space.

The calming corner sign will create a designated area for emotional self-regulation, while the bulletin board set will help us build a positive, encouraging atmosphere from day one.

Each of these items contributes to a classroom that supports learning, organization, emotional health, and identity. Thank you for helping us build a space where all students can thrive.
