My Project

Our classroom will become a more welcoming, comfortable space for learning with pillows and a colorful flower carpet for flexible seating. These additions will create a cozy book corner where students can relax, read, and enjoy books in a comfortable environment. Students can also use the cushions in our calm-down corner as a comfortable, supportive space to take a break, regulate their emotions, and return to learning feeling ready and refreshed. Flexible seating will also give students more choice in how and where they learn, helping them feel engaged, supported, and excited to spend time reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
