A Classroom for Reflection

Help me give my students an inviting, comfortable and well-stocked classroom environment tailored for thinking, reading, and writing.

My Project

My students are awesome. Many travel long distances across the city on less than comfortable transportation. I want to create a classroom environment that offers some comfort and inspires them to think, read, and write.

In order to do so, we need to stock our cupboard with plenty of writing essentials and take the sharp edge off our room with soft lighting from this floor lamp and calm music from the Bluetooth stereo.

We could also use some everyday basics like notebooks, pencil and paper to ensure that we have everything we need to complete assignments.

The items on this list will definitely get us started on our goal. We don't have many frills in our district, but our students deserve all the comfort we can offer. Thank you so much for your consideration! I appreciate you!
