Space Day Room Transformation

Help me give my students resources for a room transformation to help our first graders learn about the solar system and space.

Mrs. Avery Northwest Elementary School

Kinston, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

I teach the sweetest little first graders in a Title I School and I want to make sure I provide the safest, most enjoyable classroom environment for my students.

Student engagement is the key to igniting and fueling a passion for learning.

Room transformations help our students engage in our curriculum and have fun while learning. From backdrops to decorations, it is the small changes in their learning environment that bring the excitement of school and learning to life. I have the curriculum materials that we will need to successfully implement this transformation but need some resources for our firsties. Please consider donating to this project and bringing the solar system to life in our first grade classrooms.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
