My Project
In our classroom, every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and inspired. This project seeks to transform our learning space into a vibrant, inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all students. By incorporating culturally representative and motivational decor, we aim to create a space where students from all backgrounds feel welcomed and empowered to succeed.
The materials requested include bulletin board sets, borders, garlands, posters, and cutouts that reflect diverse cultures, positive affirmations, and inclusive messages.
These visual elements will be used to:
Decorate bulletin boards with themes of unity, diversity, and empowerment.
Highlight contributions of underrepresented groups in mathematics and education.
Reinforce classroom norms that celebrate respect, kindness, and cultural awareness.
Create a visually stimulating environment that supports academic engagement and emotional well-being.
This project directly supports racial justice and representation by ensuring that classroom visuals reflect the diverse identities of our students. Featuring posters of Black mathematicians and inclusive messages, the decor will serve as daily affirmations of each student’s worth and potential. This representation is crucial in helping students of color see themselves as capable, valued members of the academic community.
A welcoming classroom environment is foundational to student success. When students feel safe, respected, and represented, they are more likely to engage, participate, and thrive academically. This project is a step toward building that environment—one where every child knows they belong.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
