Help Me Take My Classroom From Drab to Fab

Help me give my students a harmonious and stimulating environment for learning with new classroom decor.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Patterson's classroom raised $198

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are High School English language learners as well as students with disabilities. At the High School level, we aren't given a lot of funding or materials to create an inviting classroom space. I would like to change that. I am requesting bulletin board materials and posters to make my classroom look more cohesive and welcoming. I want the students to have pride in their learning environment. My students deserve and need the space to be more visually stimulating. Creating more visuals is a key component in educating both English language learners and students with disabilities. Visuals help them process information better. I want to create a space that helps all my students succeed
