Light and Bright With Learning in Sight!

Help me give my students floor cushions and warm lighting that will create a flexible and inviting space.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Collins's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students work well together and I want them to have opportunities to do so. With the colorful floor cushions, I envision my students finding a spot around the room to collaborate. They will grab a colorful marker and display their group's thought process on poster paper.

My students each have a unique way of shining their brightness amongst the class.

I am eager to see the ways in which their imagination and learning is illuminated along the classroom walls, in a room that is lit up with warm string lights and touch lamps. I know they have so much to share, it's just a matter of giving them the chance to show it!

Another way I intend to engage my students is with resources I find on Teachers Pay Teachers. I know that there are wonderful resources that will allow me to more easily meet my students where they are at in their learning journey!
