My Project

I love my students’ creativity, curiosity, kindness, and the way they encourage and support one another every day in our classroom. They are always eager to participate, ask thoughtful questions, and work together during hands-on activities and discussions.

These resources will help create a welcoming, flexible learning environment where all students can feel comfortable and engaged.

The rug will provide a space for whole-group lessons and classroom meetings, while the tables and circle table will support collaboration, small-group instruction, and interactive learning opportunities. The stools will offer flexible seating choices that help students stay focused, comfortable, and ready to learn throughout the school day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
