Home Away From Home Classroom Theme!

Help me give my students a home away from home classroom feeling with a new theme.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Peralta's classroom raised $294

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Throughout the materials listed, you'll see a table and clear bins for organization and a space to store reading materials. You'll also see a beautiful tassel wall decoration and dried flowers. These will be essential for the new classroom theme. It is warm, and neutral, but also reminds us of a safe place. Like our homes. There is also a pocket organizer that will help us keep personal items away so that we may focus more on our academics. Finally, there is a desk pad. This will be used during our small group work. It is nice to have a place to rest our Chromebooks as we work. It is the home feel that we are seeking.
