My Project

I am seeking your help to help fund materials to set up my classroom for the upcoming school year. I believe that a child's classroom environment should be set up with thoughtful intention to make for a smooth school year. The physical classroom atmosphere has a major impact on how students learn and how they feel. I would like to use this project to help me create a warm, homey, and cozy classroom atmosphere. For example, I am asking for supplies to help me hang up name tags so that my students can come into the classroom on the first day of school, see their names, and know that I have been anticipating each and every one of them! I am asking for other "homey" things to add to my classroom like hanging plants and hanging book holders to highlight different books each week. There are also other basic supplies that I am asking for like tape, pencils, and labels to help me prepare for the upcoming school year!
