Help me give my students a welcoming classroom with flexible seating options and the necessary materials for all of our science activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Starks's classroom raised $1,167

My Project

Over the last few years, our school has been going through renovations. While having a new classroom is great, we have realized that there are still some materials that we lack. This project list is a compilation of such items.

I polled my students and got them thinking about the materials that we needed to make our classroom more effective and welcoming.

They brainstormed and researched their ideas and compiled the project list. These items will create a more inviting environment, while incorporating flexible seating options like arm chairs and a wall shelf, and needed materials for some of our science activities like a microwave and a refrigerator.
