A place for inspiring, encouraging, and empowering teachers, kids, and families to learn how to and live out their best lives.
Welcome! Who do we have visiting The Happy Classroom today?
What is a Happy Classroom?
Imagine a classroom where kids and adults really want to be. It is a safe place filled with fun, purposeful learning experiences. But more than that, it is a place where teachers are educating from a place of hope, joy, and belief in their students. They are helping students to cultivate healthy self-images, a vision for what caring communities look like, and how their own strengths and passions can help them live their best lives. This is a “happy” classroom!
While we have many hopes and dreams for how The Happy Classroom could help kids, teachers, and families be their best, here are a few of our main ones to give you an idea.
Our Hopes

become inspired to make each classroom day count
(re)define their purposes for becoming a teacher
(re)discover the joy of getting to work with kids each day

Our main goals for KIDS are that they can:
learn what it means to live a “good life”

and MORE!
Our main goals for FAMILIES are that they can:
