My Project
Help me provide a safe and comforting classroom environment for my middle school exceptional children! My group of about 20 middle school students spend a large chunk of their day with me exploring various subjects such as math, reading, social emotional learning. My project aims to add some much needed fidget restocks, as well as furniture and snacks to create a welcoming and safe calm down corner for those challenging middle school days. In addition I have also provided some much needed supplies that we use on the daily for our math, reading and social and emotional lessons.
