My Project

Thank you all to the past project that was funded. It allowed me to establish routines and provide structure to optimize student learning. This project is focused on how students can personalize their classroom and provide them a safe, calming, and quiet corner.

Some of the materials such as the curtains, sensory toys, and ceiling decorations will be used to create a small corner of the room where students can breathe, refocus, and feel safe.

Other materials such as the construction paper, stencils, and the wooden cabinet, will allow students to create their own arts and crafts that will be organized and displayed throughout the room. The focus of this project is to continue improving the classroom experience.
