Frist Grade Classroom Transformations

Help me give my students construction hats, pirate eye patches and gold coins to make classroom transformations fun.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kellerstrass's classroom raised $157

This project is fully funded

My Project

First Graders are so creative!

Transforming a classroom can make a huge difference with students who are hesitant to learn.

If you incorporate a fun concept into your lesson, like a construction theme, it makes academic challenges a lot more manageable. In addition, room transformations can be useful for students who usually show signs of work refusal.

I am asking for construction hats, pirate eye patches, gold chocolate coins, tablecloths and streamers to help in transforming our room into a fun engaging space for a day.

Thank you so much for your consideration of my project!
