The Perfect Classroom

My students need a variety of seating options to help maintain focus and a variety of calming down tools to utilize when emotions become to big to rationalize.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Yencer's classroom raised $436

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students at my school generally come from low economic backgrounds. Most students crave that extra support from other adults around the school. Also, these students need some extra guidance academically, behaviorally, and socially.

As the resource teacher/special educational teacher, I have the pleasure to work with students in a smaller group setting; giving my students that extra support that they crave academically, behaviorally, and/or socially.

I have the opportunity to meet each of my student's individual needs to help ensure success in that child, and to see them explore the feeling of accomplishment that every child wants to achieve.

My Project

Every student deserves to come to school and learn in the perfect classroom. This is every teacher's dream to give to their students, and I would love to make this a reality for my students.

"When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not to join their choas." - L.R.

Knost When students are having a hard time sitting still during a long school day, students deserve to have their choice of sitting on a yoga ball, or wobble stool. When students are anxious, upset, frustrated, or angry, students deserve to have a quiet area to go to with a comfy rug, pillows, and a variety of fidgets to help calm those big emotions. It is my goal to give my students this perfect classroom to help them succeed in school.
