Starting a new classroom is exciting—but building a warm, engaging, and well-equipped space for students from scratch is a big challenge. As a teacher in a brand new space, I want to create a classroom that feels like a second home where students are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow.
My students deserve an environment that sparks curiosity and supports their academic and emotional needs.
This project will help provide the basic supplies and furniture that make a classroom functional and inviting, like comfy floor cushions and portable lap desks. Bright cardstock and paper make our interactive notebooks something we enjoy and are proud of. Colorful dry-erase dots provide vertical spaces for students to move around and collaborate. Magnetic bookshelves to display some of our favorite books and invite reading into our math classroom. Jumbo Magnetic notebook paper to help us build amazing writers. Board storage for our dry-erase markers and cleaning cloths to keep our space neat, clean, and organized.
Your donation will help transform a bare room into a vibrant learning hub full of color, creativity, and comfort. With your support, I’ll be able to welcome students into a space where they feel safe, respected, and excited to learn every day.
Thank you for helping me lay the foundation for a bright and beautiful learning journey!
