My Project

In 3rd grade, students are developing independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. A cozy rug and comfy cushions will give them a welcoming space to gather for class discussions, partner work, and independent reading.

Having a designated area to come together helps build classroom community and encourages focus and engagement.

An organizing shelf will keep materials like markers and pencils easily accessible, promoting responsibility and minimizing distractions. When students can quickly find what they need, they spend more time learning and less time searching. These simple tools help create a calm, creative, and student-centered environment every day.
