We recently just completed our biggest makeover challenge to date! We transformed an elementary school classroom from start to finish. A couple months ago, we put out a call for teachers across US and Canada, and got so many applications, it was hard to choose but we narrowed it down to one incredible teacher - Miss. Hardy in Kelowna, BC. She has a split class of kindergarten and grade one students.

Not only does the classroom need to accommodate 2 different grades and curriculums, but it also requires a multitude of different learning styles. She has 20 students in her class, and within that, there are students who are English language learners, who are diagnosed on the autism spectrum or with learning disabilities, who have visual impairments or are hard of hearing and students who have Indigenous ancestry. Her school is also in a lower socioeconomic area, so a lot of the funding that they get goes to important things such as breakfast carts and grocery programs that they give to families that might be struggling. That said, Miss. Hardy had to personally supply a lot of her classroom furniture or use hand-me-downs that other classrooms didn't need.
