Welcome to Mrs. Croft's New Digs!

Help me give my students a welcoming space with flexible seating, motivational decor, and functional organization!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Croft's classroom raised $479

My Project

Moving to a new classroom can be exciting, but intimidating, for students...and the teacher! These materials will help me create a welcoming space for my new fifth grade students.

With flexible seating, motivational decor, and functional organization, my students will be set up for academic and emotional success as they start their intermediate school journey.

When my students are given a choice of where they want to sit, they feel invested in our classroom and their academic success. When my students work in an inclusive, calm, and motivating space, their emotions are regulated so they can focus on producing high-quality academic work. In addition, my students are able to complete their best academic work when their materials are organized. Please help my new fifth grade students start their intermediate school journey in a welcoming space!
