Ms. Westfall's Fixer Upper Classroom!

Help me give my students a learning environment that is positive and productive! Every child will have a space for learning which will enhance their learning experience!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Westfall's classroom raised $2,029

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom consists of 22 kiddos who are eager to learn and create. We work in whole group on the carpet and small groups at their tables. We are in an area of poverty but we all come to school eager to learn. My students are very hard workers and have progressed so much already in such a short time! Having sturdy tables would make learning easier and more productive. Communication is essential in our daily routine as we use mailbox daily!

My Project

These items will make a great impact on our daily learning. Much of our learning is whole group on the carpet and the children need their own space to feel comfortable and secure. A carpet big enough for all the students would be a wonderful gift. The tables will help the children gather together but also have their own personal space to work. Sturdy tables to complete classwork would add to our positive learning environment. Communication is used daily. We use a folder to communicate with parents including updates, homework, and projects we have worked on in class. Organization would benefit greatly.
