My Project

The sun brings great joy to many and having a place to relax outside while learning, helps to motivate my students. As a school, we utilize outdoor areas for our students and the feedback from the students is very positive. As the MTSS Interventionist, I am helping the school to achieve goals for students' academics and more. I want to create a space outside of my classroom where I would be able to bring students to work in small groups, have lunch together, and check-in. This patio furniture and rug would create a warm and inviting space.
