My ESL classroom is very bare with concrete floors, brick walls, and student desks. This can feel isolating, intimidating and unwelcoming. My project centers around providing a camping adventure theme. These supplies will provide space for a unique reading nook with a tent, rug, and soft seating. My goal is for new students to feel at ease and relaxed when they come to take a seat. Often immigrants and newcomers are brought into an unfamiliar place. These items will create a center of unity. My plan is to have a mock campfire where everyone feels welcome. This circle time will be the setting to gathers students into the fun adventure of learning. Thank you for investing in some amazing students!
