My Project

This is our very first project on DonorsChoose. I'm so excited to teach and have my own classroom this year! We need a fresh and inviting classroom to learn in. I would love to have the pastel crayons for hands-on art projects, the cushions for flexible seating, the wallpaper to cover the orange and yellow cabinets, and the timer to keep track of time.

I'd love for the students to have flexible seating for reading, have art supplies they need, and modernize the classroom so it can be more welcoming for the students to learn.

It's authentic and deep learning. These engaged students will read comfortably in my classroom with flexible seating.

We're so excited to get the necessary things for our amazing class! I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
