My Project

This summer and into the next school year, I want to create a comfortable, welcoming space where my students can relax as they read, complete assignments, and enjoy learning games. Having cozy seating options will make our classroom feel more like a home, a place where students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn. We already have bean bags and a carpet in our classroom, and they’ve made a big difference! These cozy additions have helped create a more inviting learning environment and serve as a fun incentive that keeps students engaged. With your support, we hope to build on this foundation and make our classroom an even more comfortable and inspiring place to learn.

With your support, I can create a cozy area with a couch, fun games, and a fresh, inviting scent perfect for encouraging both independent work and collaboration during summer camp and throughout the new school year.

My students often miss out on the little things, so they truly appreciate when I add extra incentives in the classroom. With our upcoming summer learning camp, I want to bring even more fun into our space a place where students can connect, engage, and learn together. Thank you for considering a contribution to help make our classroom a more fun, supportive learning environment. With all the challenges my students face outside of school, creating a space that feels just a little more special can make a big difference.
