My Project

My students are amazing! They have big ideas and big feelings. The tent and fidgets will help to create a calming corner where students can have the opportunity to self regulate and meditate when learning and playing becomes overwhelming.

Flexible seating is an amazing way to support many learning styles.

The seating allows students to work how and where they are most successful. It will help provide a space that is welcoming and where students can feel supported and in control of their learning.

My students are in an area of amazing growth and our school is bursting at the seams. My goal is to have these awesome kids feel at home in our classroom, to feel safe and valued as a part of the learning team.
