Comfortable Learning Environment

Help me give my students the resources to have a safe and comfortable classroom

My Project

This project will help me fund my new middle school classroom. It will ensure students feel comfortable and safe in a new environment, especially for the students coming from elementary school to middle school for the first time. This should be a safe space where students want to go and feel secure in seeking out their teacher if they are having a hard day or have a question.

This space should not only be inviting, but fun and organized.

The rug will make the room feel at home, the bins will help with organizing books, and the bulletin board materials will help display student work.
