Creating a Calm and Organized Reading Intervention Classroom

Help me give my students dry erase boards, binders and dividers for a reading intervention classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Curry's classroom raised $749

My Project

My students are working hard to build their reading skills, and I want to create a structured, calming environment that helps them succeed. A rolling whiteboard will allow me to model reading strategies and work with small groups anywhere in the classroom. Folders and dividers will help keep student materials organized, while erasers and other essential supplies will support interactive learning. These tools will ensure that each student has access to what they need to stay engaged and focused during reading intervention.

Beyond organization, I want to create a calm and welcoming space where students feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Soft lighting, soothing visuals, and a well-structured setup will help reduce anxiety and encourage focus. With your support, I can transform my classroom into a place where struggling readers feel confident, supported, and ready to grow. Thank you for helping me make a difference in their learning journey!
