My Project

I am a special educator at Spartanburg High school. I teach grades 9-12. I want my students to be comfortable and relaxed, and I want their safe space to be my classroom.

I believe that students have the ability to learn more if they are not dreading coming to sit in another chair for 50 minutes and they have the opportunity to sit and be more relaxed.

My students might not get the chance to be comfortable in their homes, I want them to feel secure and safe in their classroom.

Ms. Ray
Grades 9-12
