My Project

Teenagers in my classroom are learning life, career, and college readiness. Some of the activities we do and learn about do not require a desk or table, so having an inviting and comfortable space makes this unique class all the more special for my students.

High schoolers are already stressed about school work, social life, and what comes next after they graduate.

To give them a space where they can come and be comfortable while learning is so important to me as a teacher as I help them navigate successful futures.
