My Project

My students thrive in a classroom that feels welcoming, organized, and calm.

To create this environment, I am requesting several key items that will help transform our space into a place where students can focus, stay organized, and feel inspired every day.

The Better Than Paper® bulletin board rolls (in blush and calming blue) will allow me to create durable, reusable displays that promote a soothing atmosphere without the hassle of constantly replacing torn paper. These materials are not only beautiful but also practical, making it easy to swap out student work and important information throughout the year.

The Cool for School Bundle from Lakeshore will provide essential classroom supplies that keep our learning activities fun, hands-on, and organized. Having a variety of engaging materials ready for students helps me meet their diverse needs and learning styles.

The clipboard holders will give students a neat, easy-to-access place to store their work during independent activities. Instead of papers getting lost or damaged, students will be able to take pride in keeping their work organized and safe.

The rainbow turn-in trays will create a colorful, simple system for collecting assignments. Clear organization helps my students become more independent and responsible for their learning — and cuts down on classroom chaos!

Every item in this project is carefully chosen to create a calming, organized space that supports student success. Thank you for considering a donation to help my classroom become a place where every student can feel proud, focused, and ready to learn!
