My Project

My students are an incredibly vibrant, hard-working, and resilient group of learners. They bring an amazing amount of energy and joy into our classroom every single day, and I love how enthusiastic they are about learning. However, traditional desks don't always fit their unique physical and emotional needs, especially when they are dealing with sensory overload or big feelings.

To support them, I am enhancing our classroom environment with flexible seating and calm corner resources.

The cozy beanbag seats and comfortable floor cushions will give my students the freedom to choose a workspace where they feel most relaxed and secure. By giving my students a comfortable, adaptable space to manage their emotions, they will be able to quickly reset, focus on their lessons, and truly thrive academically. Thank you for helping me build a classroom where every student feels comfortable and supported!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
