Peaceful Learning Environment

Help me give my students a colorful place to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cummings Mcneil's classroom raised $394

This project is fully funded

My Project

Currently the classroom has grey blinds that can be pulled down to block out the sun. The blinds give a boring feeling to the environment. Help me bring color that matches the theme of the room with these teal and white sheer curtains to allow some light in when we need to block some of the sunlight. The curtain rods and hangers will allow me to easily hang the curtains for my students.

Bright colors will make students feel invited into the learning environment.

Using these bright colors as our theme of teal blue, white, and soft grey colors is this year's theme to create a wonderful learning environment for my students. My goal is to create a classroom that my students want to become lifelong learners in.
