A Welcoming Space for All

Help me give my students some tools to make their learning more accessible, comfortable, and engaging. These items can help students be more independent, secure, and engaged in the classroom.

My Project

My students are so eager to learn and grow, and the materials we're requesting can make their journey more comfortable and accessible. My school does a great job at covering the basics like pencils and crayons, but it takes more than that to nurture and strengthen today's students.

Things like headphones can allow my students privacy and comfort when listening to their math videos, or when they're calming down in the break space.

A new, clean rug can give them a comforting touch when we're all at learning circle together talking about our weekend plans. The standing desk allows them a place to stretch but still stay focused on their work. The books can show them that their feelings are okay and welcomed. You can help us achieve all of this and more!
