Ms. Underwood's classroom raised $442

Creating a Colorful, Caring & Student-Ready Classroom

Help me give my students classroom organization and learning supplies, sensory and calming tools, behavior incentives, classroom décor, seating/storage, and snacks and drinks to help create a welcoming, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

Charlotte, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are bright, curious, energetic, and full of potential. I love how excited they are to learn, ask questions, and celebrate their accomplishments. I want to create a classroom where every child feels safe, valued, motivated, and excited to come to school each day.

These resources will help me build a colorful, organized, and welcoming learning environment.

Classroom storage, name tags, desk materials, and organization tools will help students learn responsibility and independence. Sensory toys, calming tools, and breathing resources will support students in managing their emotions and staying focused. Behavior stickers and small incentives will encourage positive choices and celebrate student growth. Snacks and drinks will help support students who may need an extra boost throughout the school day.

Most importantly, these resources will help me create a classroom where my students can learn, grow, feel supported, and believe in themselves. Every resource will have a purpose: helping my students feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
