Relaxing and Inviting Classroom

Help me give my students a learning environment that is inviting and relaxing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hawkins's classroom raised $541

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help me make my classroom more inviting for my young learners! I am asking for a soothing water fountain, plants that students can relax around, plant stands to spread the greenery throughout my classroom, and neutral lighting to help alleviate the harsh fluorescent classroom lighting.

A calming and inviting classroom makes learners more capable!

With your support, I can make my classroom a place where students can feel less stressed and safer to try more difficult tasks. Thank you so much for your support of my 6th-grade learners!
