My Project

Welcome to my classroom where we are embarking on an out-of-this-world adventure to engage and inspire my special education students through a galaxy-themed learning environment. This project aims to transform my classroom into a captivating space that stimulates curiosity, encourages exploration, and fosters a love for learning among my exceptional students.

As most teachers know, sometimes you have to change rooms.

I've been in my current room for three years and was recently told that, next year, I will be moving to a different classroom with very little storage which is where the cube storage organizer comes into play. My heart sank when I heard the news, but I'm trying to make the best of it and designing a new room to welcome my students for the 2024-2025 school year.

My primary goal is to create a classroom environment that empowers my special education students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. By immersing them in a galaxy-themed setting with space decor like bulletin board sets, galaxy themed lanterns and stars to hang from the ceiling and a new calm down corner with a Space Adventures Design Bin, tent, and new galaxy themed motivational posters, my aim is to provide a multi-sensory experience that caters to diverse learning styles and abilities and to cultivate a supportive and inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and encouraged.

My students may face challenges in traditional learning environments, but they also bring a wealth of strengths and perspectives to my classroom. Each student is special, and it is my mission to celebrate their differences and empower them to succeed. By creating a galaxy-themed classroom that embraces diversity and promotes inclusivity, I hope to provide my special education students with the support and resources they need to shine brightly and reach for the stars.
