Comfort is Critical for my Students' Success!

Help me give my students an area in our classroom that feels safe, comfortable, and is welcoming to enhance their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Santee's classroom raised $1,132

My Project

I am a High School Special Education Teacher. A top priority in my classroom is to ensure it is a safe and welcoming environment for my students. I want students to walk in and feel comfortable, ready to learn. I truly believe students will not learn from you if they do not like you or feel welcomed in your classroom.

The bean bags and rug that I am hoping to get donated for my classroom would help students feel comfortable and give them alternate or flexible seating.

I know when I am working, I would much rather sit in a comfortable seat rather than a desk, so why would I not want to provide that for my students? This is a way that students can make a choice on their own about where they think they learn best.

The snacks that I am hoping to get donated for my classroom are for obvious reasons, who can learn when they are hungry? I do my best to provide snacks for my classroom, but that can get expensive to do alone. However, I do not want any of my students coming into my room or leaving my room hungry.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my classroom project. I truly love my job, I love my students, and I want to provide them with the classroom and education they deserve.
