My Project

The carpet is requested to help promote a welcoming learning environment for my students. Morning meetings, community circle, and shared read alouds will take place giving each child a space to be comfortable while also maintaining proper boundary space.

Many students come to school hungry or experience midday hunger which can negatively impact their concentration, behavior, and overall academic performance.

By having healthy, readily available snacks we can boost student engagement, support learning and healthy habits.

With your support we can ensure that every child has the nourishment and welcoming classroom environment to help them thrive both academically and socially.
