My Project
With your help and generosity, my students and I will be able to complete our calming / reading corner. So far, we have used our cushions and headphones to create a sense of relaxation during testing season.
Now, with the addition of a colorful and fun rug, students will be able to regain control over their emotions when feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
Additionally, the magnetic photo displays will allow me to display student work and foster their emotional well-being through acknowledging their hard work and giving them the opportunity to feel proud of themselves and the work they put into our everyday classes.
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
