My Students

I teach middle school students in a high poverty, rural school. I love the students I work with and strive to provide authentic opportunities for them to learn, while also working to meet their social and emotional needs. Often times school does not seem fully relevant.

Working to meet the social and emotional needs of our students is extremely important to me.

As students feel safe and supported in my classroom and throughout the school, they have they opportunity to focus on academics, rather than the challenges of life.

My Project

The rug, chairs, and lamps we are asking for will help to create a comfortable and calm place to help students learn to regulate their emotions. The room this equipment has been used in has historically been a location where students were sent when they have been a behavior challenge in the classroom. We are working to shift this room to help support students in learning to regulate their emotions.

Giving students a safe and inviting space to regulate their emotions will help them both academically and behaviorally long-term.

Through this process and social emotional supports, students will be able to start self-regulating their emotions, which will help to reduce classroom disruptions throughout the year. The products selected will give a comfortable and inviting environment, while also being easy to keep clean and sanitary. Thanks!
