My Students

We are an inclusion classroom with a wide range of abilities. My favorite aspect of my classroom is the diversity within my room. My students' backgrounds span the globe and they are always willing to share their culture, backgrounds, and experiences. They are motivated to learn and full of energy. Our classroom is a group that becomes a family. We are a team! My students are diverse and need diverse materials to learn and grow in an effective environment.

My Project

Having these pillows means my students will have a comfy place to sit and relax while they use the power of books to travel to unknown places. Having these pillows means we can spread out around the classroom so we aren’t confined to the classroom rug. These pillows will also be used during group work so that students have the opportunity to share ideas and thoughts in a group setting...without feeling confined to the cold floor or their desks. I know that my students will appreciate and enjoy this resource and will appreciate having them included in our reading area!
