My Project
I would really like to create a welcoming safe environment. I would like an environment that will help my students feel like all of their senses are considered and attended to. I would also like a room where the students are able to feel relaxed and calm. The rate of anxiety in students has increased over the past few years, I feel like this project will help address that. I feel like if all of the student's senses are engaged and calm when they walk into the room, they will be more likely to participate in academics. I will be putting rows of Edison lights on the ceiling, instead of using the harsh fluorescent lights. I will be installing the lights in a crisscross pattern in the room with the hooks. I will also be adding lights around the windows and borders. I will be using the speaker to have music on as they enter the room and during independent work time. I have a couple of social resource students who can use individual headphones, these have a nose-canceling feature so that they do not have other noises from the classroom taking their focus. I will be using the tapestries to decorate the bulletin boards. I will be using the essential oils to create a comforting smell as the students walk into the room. When a student walks into the room and there are soft lights, warm music, cozy decorations, and comforting smells, their anxiety lowers and they are able to engage in academics more fully.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
