Help me give my students a comfy safe space for STEM genius thinking.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pat Wong's classroom raised $633
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am a media librarian and STEM teacher that teaches in an urban Title I school with a population of over four hundred students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. My students come from diverse backgrounds and the majority are from low-income households.
I'd like the sofas to be for students who need a safe space.
The sofa chairs will create a more comfortable and inviting space for student learning. These sofa chairs will be the perfect safe space when kids need to take a break to refocus or a safe space to chat with me about a struggle they may be having on their STEM projects and work on their social emotional well-being. I want my students to feel comfortable while learning my classroom!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
