Out With The Old In With The New Classroom Design

Help me give my students a non traditional classroom with innovative learning styles.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shields's classroom raised $476

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is all about ensuring that students feel seen and valued. After surveying students they mentioned a need for:

More prizes to our prize cabinet

New styles of seating

New ways to use the restroom without paper passes

An opportunity to help clean the classroom more

To name a few..

These items of lanyards, new desks, stickers, and a vacuum all answer to that and provide students more opportunity to see their classroom as more than just an academic learning space, but a safe space and a space that encourages creativity.
