My Project

My students deserve a learning environment that supports both their academic and emotional needs—a space where they can feel calm, focused, and motivated. With your help, I’m transforming our classroom into a modern desert-themed oasis with flexible seating, soothing lighting, and organizational tools that will empower every learner.

Help me create a calming and organized classroom oasis where students can feel focused, inspired, and ready to learn—with flexible seating, cozy lighting, motivational decor, and more!

The new flexible seating chairs will give students the freedom to choose spots that help them concentrate best, whether they need movement, comfort, or quiet. A soft area rug will anchor our reading nook, where students can curl up with their new inspiring biographies organized in brand-new book bins.

To enhance mindfulness and calm, I’m adding a meditation breathing bear and a warm salt lamp, along with rope lights that offer soft, soothing lighting. Motivational signs will remind students that they are capable, resilient, and important every single day.

Our white board folders will keep student work accessible and organized, fostering independence and responsibility. And everything will be tied together with a modern cactus and desert aesthetic—a clean, serene environment that helps students feel right at home.

This isn’t just about decor—it’s about designing a space that inspires students to do their best work, take care of themselves, and truly love being in school. Thank you for helping me create this space for them!
