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
Students need a classroom that feels warm, inviting, and homey because it helps create a sense of safety and belonging, which is the foundation for effective learning. When a classroom environment is comfortable and welcoming, students are more likely to feel emotionally secure, build positive relationships, and engage with their peers and teachers. A cozy, personalized space with soft lighting, colorful displays, and thoughtful touches can ease anxiety and help students feel valued and respected, especially for those who may face instability or stress outside of school.
A homey classroom also supports focus and motivation.
When students enjoy being in their learning environment, they are more likely to participate, take risks, and stay invested in their work. For many children especially in low income or high needs settings, school may be one of the most stable and nurturing places in their lives. Creating a warm classroom atmosphere shows students that they are cared for and that their well-being matters, which can have a lasting impact on their confidence and academic success.
More than half 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
