My Project

I am so excited to see my students feel safe and welcomed in a cozy and colorful classroom! This is my first Donors Choose project and I am so thankful for all the support this can provide the upcoming school year!

My goal in creating this project is to enhance the learning environment which creates a welcoming, engaging, and inspiring classroom atmosphere that promotes curiosity and a love for learning!

Equipping students with necessary supplies ensures that all students have access to the essential materials they need to participate fully in their education, regardless of their personal circumstances.

I plan to use the checkered rug, chair cushions, and lamp in my library to help elevate the area and show students that reading can be a calming activity!
