An Inviting Place to Learn

Help me give my students enter a fun and organized classroom. I would love to give my kids a space to read that makes them think of the wider world. Thank you.

My Project

Concrete floors can be so uninviting! That is why I wish to make the centerpiece of my classroom a colorful and educational rug. I hope this rug will promote a wider understanding of our country as well as providing students a comfortable place to read. In addition to a rug I have added a few more things to make my classroom more inviting to students.

Good or bad, a lot of today's schooling involves computers.

I wish to make computers the most effective tool possible by giving my students quality headphones so they can fully engage in their studies.

The final two items in my cart are just a few missing pieces to provide function and fuel to my classroom. Organization is one of my educator weaknesses and I believe the bookshelf will provide me much needed support in my personal improvement. The second item is some snacks for my students. Our school does a good job at providing some snacks but more is always better. This is true for all kids, but especially schools with high rates of poverty such as ours. Thank you very much for taking the time to read and thank you for your consideration.
