Help support Mrs. Myers' Classroom

As we physically return to school this year, my students are coming back after six months of being on their own. While some have had safe and healthy environments during covid-19, many have not. My job is to provide them an opportunity to learn. Learning can only come after we build relationships, community and a true sense of safety and belonging. This year I feel that it is especially important for me to provide my kids a sense of home. Home to me is a calm, safe, green place where I am valued and inspired, and this is what I want to give all my kids this year. I hope to create a sense of family, even with social distancing limitations, by having a consistently calm theme in my classroom. I will use greenery, live plants, muted farmhouse colors and a small kitchen table to create a true 'home' for my kids that have lived in fear, hunger or sadness for months and need a sense of home the most. Engagement in science and inspiration to reach for the stars will truly come when my students experience a comfortable, modern and welcoming classroom. I hope to use these materials to create this sense of home in our learning environment. Student work will be highlighted on these bulletin boards, hung overhead with the greenery/twine and birthdays/events recorded on our calendar. Students will enter our room and feel as though they are coming home for the day, where they can be themselves, care for plants/animals, hang their photos and find their voice.
