My Project

My third graders are eager to learn, but they also need a space to calm down, refocus, read, and feel comfortable. I want to create a cozy Calming Corner and Library Corner where students can reset, enjoy books, and learn independently.

I am also requesting one iPad to document student activities, projects, and learning progress.

These resources will help my students read, reflect, create, and grow while allowing me to celebrate their learning and progress.

I want my classroom to be a place where every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. This project will give my students a welcoming space to calm their minds, discover new books, and proudly show what they can do.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
