This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
My students and I need a large space where everyone has a comfortable spot to gather together for learning, activties, discussion, and more! It is a place to gather in the morning and at the end of the day and helps build relationships as well as classroom community. It also provides flexible seating and a fun alternative to the standard chair.
The classroom is like a second home so please help me make it feel more like one with a cozy meeting rug.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
