My Project

My seventh grade math students are all about the "vibes". When the classroom looks and feels a certain way, students are more comfortable and thus more confident.

This project features ambient lighting and various board games to create and maintain a classroom that provides solace and refuge from other factors that may make it difficult for students to enjoy coming to school daily.

Especially as the end of the school year approaches, having these positive, school-appropriate decorations and activities will ensure that students look forward to the final days of learning before summer vacation starts.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
