My Project

Every student deserves a classroom where they feel safe, welcomed, and ready to learn. As I prepare my special education classroom for the upcoming school year, I am working to create a space that supports learning, independence, and emotional well-being.

A classroom rug will provide a comfortable gathering space for whole-group instruction, read-alouds, and social learning.

A cubby storage shelf will help keep classroom materials organized and accessible while encouraging students to build independence and responsibility. A beanbag chair will offer a flexible seating option and a calming space for students who need sensory support or a quiet place to regulate before returning to learning.

These foundational items will help create an organized, engaging, and supportive classroom where every student can thrive. Thank you for considering supporting my students and helping us build a classroom that feels like home.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
