My Project

I am thrilled to present a Donors Choose project aimed at transforming my classroom into a vibrant and inspiring learning space. As an educator, I understand the profound impact that a conducive environment can have on students' learning experiences. The specific items I am requesting – lights, books, snacks, and plants – are carefully selected to enhance the educational journey of my unique and special students.

Books are the backbone of any classroom, and the selection of new reading material will open doors to a world of knowledge and imagination.

Access to a rich library encourages independent reading, supports literacy development, and cultivates a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. If student's finish an entire book, they can get an assigment credit for writing a report on their completed read.

Nutrition plays a vital role in cognitive function, and providing snacks ensures that my students have the energy and focus needed for optimal learning. Healthy snacks will not only satisfy hunger but also contribute to overall well-being. As majority of our students or on Free and Reduced Lunch, they are often coming to school with an empty stomach. By addressing basic needs, we create an environment where students can concentrate on their studies without the distraction of an empty stomach.

I also have included comfortable seating options for us instructors, as most of our job is done tutoring kids at their desks, and is preferred over teaching while standing, to have better eye contact with students.

Introducing plants into the classroom is a multi-faceted approach to improving the learning environment. Not only do they serve as aesthetically pleasing decorations, but they also have proven psychological benefits, creating a healthier environment.
