Mrs. Goodwin's Captivating Classroom

Help me give my students an organized and relaxed classroom with interesting books that they would be excited to read!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Goodwin's classroom raised $479

My Project

The classrooms can be seen as a cold and unwelcoming environment. I want to change the students' mindsets about that by adding lighting, a bulletin board, and books they want to read (Charm, court, Crave, Cursed, Crush, The School for Good and Evil, etc).

By having a relaxing and enticing classroom atmosphere, the students I work with will feel that they are able to read interesting books in an environment without harsh lights.

My goal as an educator is to get the concepts to stick, and it's hard to do that when the students are disengaged. With a captivating classroom, students will want to come in, stay in, and learn.
