My Project

I am moving to a new, unused classroom that needs to be established as a clean, calm, student-centered environment. Providing designated spaces that are calm and allow students to focus on their tasks will improve independence, stamina, and skills.

There has been much research lately about the impact of a soothing environment.

I want to make the most of each moment of my student's days by creating an inviting area that encourages focus.

For many, school is a 'home away from home'. The items requested will create a warm and welcoming place for my learners to feel safe and comfortable and take risks with their learning.
