My Project

Students that come into my resource classroom will be able to have a space in the classroom where they can get cozy to read and listen to stories. The rug will provide somewhere the students can choose to sit instead of just in their chairs. The books I've chosen in my cart all will help to support social emotional learning, that I feel is super important for my students to learn about.

My students are such a special group because they all have some type of disability that is affecting their learning.

They need this comfortable space to help them feel safe and help them learn even better!
