Creating Calm: A Peaceful Place to Learn

Help me give my students a beautiful classroom that provides them with a soothing and calm environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stone's classroom raised $281

My Project

What I love most about my students is that they come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique stories, cultures, and perspectives into our classroom. They are resilient, curious, and full of potential, and they deserve a learning environment that reflects just how valued they are.

It is my honor and responsibility to make sure that from the very first day of school, every student feels welcome, heard, seen, appreciated, and empowered.

This project is designed to help create that kind of space, a classroom that doesn’t just house learning, but inspires it.

With your support, I will transform our room into a warm, beautiful, and inviting environment. Thoughtful decor, such as Kids Area Rugs Boho Rainbow mid Century Modern Seamless Pattern Textile 3D Rugs, Fadeless Designs Paper Roll, and 8 Calming Corner Posters For Classroom, may seem simple, but it sends a powerful message: You matter here. From inspiring quotes by incredible people of color to visuals that reflect the diverse identities in our classroom, every item will help students feel a sense of belonging.

Thank you for helping me create a space where every student feels seen and every voice matters.
