Help Us Bloom: Creating Garden-Themed Space For Ms. Barker’s Classroom
Help me give my students a welcoming, garden-themed classroom where little seeds become big thinkers! Your support will help me provide flexible seating, class organization, meaningful decor, and a cart to transport student materials/balls/games outdoors.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barker's classroom raised $682
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The Growth Garden—a welcoming, garden-themed classroom where little seeds become big thinkers!
I want to give my students the best opportunity to learn, no matter their home environment.
As someone who grew up in a volatile home, my classroom was my safe space. Now, as a teacher, I want to create that same sense of peace, safety, and growth for my students—academically and personally.
Your support will help transform our space into a vibrant and organized environment that inspires learning, creativity, and community. With your help, I’ll provide:
Flexible seating to support collaboration and focus
Meaningful garden-themed decor to make the classroom joyful and nurturing
Organizational tools to foster calm and independence
A sturdy cart for transporting student materials, outdoor games, and active learning tools
In this space, students will feel safe to grow, take risks, and bloom into their best selves—together.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
