My Project

The best learning takes place when students feel they are in a safe and comfortable space. I am reaching out to ask for your help in providing a calm and relaxing classroom environment.

My goal is to provide a home away from home for students while they are in my classroom.

My vision is to create a classroom where students feel they are in a comfortable learning space, without the traditional four blank walls. I am entering into a new classroom this upcoming school year, and I would greatly appreciate your help to make my vision come to life.

As a teacher, I have seen time and time again students with home lives that often provide chaos and uncertainty. For many, school becomes their safe place. Since I began teaching, my hope has been students feel instantly welcomed when they walk into my room. With your help, I can complete the vision I am working towards.

Ms. Thornburg
Grades 9-12
