My Project

Comfort creates a safe learning environment! A rug can provide a soft, cozy space where we can gather together for community building. Flexible seating enables students to feel more relaxed and at ease, while also promoting choice.

For many children, the classroom is their home away from home.

I want our classroom to be a cozy and inviting place where they can feel comfort, care, and support. Thank you for considering this project for my wonderful students. Every contribution brings us one step closer to creating a space that every child deserves.
