Making Our Room Beautiful And Resourceful!

Help me give my students the beautiful and resourceful classroom they truly deserve!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Irwin's classroom raised $567

My Students

What doesn't make my students special? I love that my students show up to school to really learn and put their best efforts forward, even during this hard time of virtual learning. Each one of them is such a unique individual and each one of them really brings something special to my day.

Our classroom is filled with so much love and joy that we consider each other family.

My students enjoy hands on activities and they are very self-sufficient. They challenge themselves to reach their goals every day.

My Project

This project will add relatable books to our classroom library and the classroom decorations will make our classroom look warm and welcoming.

My students deserve to have a classroom they love to be in and that they want to be a part of!

After the year and a half they have endured, I want my students to feel safe and happy at school.

The additional resources are needed to complete the daily tasks my students do for writing and activities on the whiteboards.

All of these supplies will increase their happiness at school!
