My Project

I’m a first year teacher in the elementary level. I’m just starting to build my classroom library and decor. I want to provide my student with diverse materials so every student can see themselves in items around my classroom.

Diversity and inclusion matter.

I want seating and flexible options around my classroom. No one wants to see at a desk all day. These decor and seating materials will help me provide that to my students.

The toys I have added will really come in handy during indoor recess and choice days. Manipulative materials are incredibly important for student to explore.

Please help me give my students the classroom I dream about.

Ms. Sarah Curtin will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by Saturday, June 14.

Ms. Sarah Curtin Coopertown Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
