Crazy Calm Classroom: First Grade Fun!

Help me give my students super cool light covers and awesome storage solutions!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elvin's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are wonderfully eager learners! They come to school excited for the day, greeting classmates, and getting quickly settled into their morning routines.

In order to create this crazy calm classroom, we will need light covers, colorful cardstock, and project cases.

The light covers will help alleviate the glare and eyestrain experienced by intense fluorescent lighting. We will be able to have aesthetically pleasing centers with the colorful cardstock, and be able to organize our themed centers with the project cases.

Thank you so much for viewing my project!
