My Project

Help me give me students a groovy kind of classroom for the next school year. Groovy bulletin boards will light up the classroom with students' work and art when students walk into their home away from home. Staple remover will make it easier to re-do our bulletin board.

My goal is to make sure all students come to school feeling safe and welcome.

Our school is a Title I school where majority of the students come from families with financial difficulties. Having an inviting classroom will hopefully motivate students come to school.

What makes my students special is the courage to come to school even when it is difficult to. When given the proper tools such as paint and paint tray, students are able to express their feelings and help them with their social-emotional learning.
