My Project
I have moved to a new school with a smaller classroom. I want to make it feel like it is not just a white brick box. With your help, I can change that!
Using indirect lighting, softening the floor with rugs and making the white cement walls come to life with fabric backdrops helps to create a welcoming room where students feel safe and relaxed.
Also, having magnetic tools to keep things organized and easy to find make the flow of the day less stressful.
These materials and decorations will help to make the classroom feel like home. My goal is to make my classroom a more inviting space when my students come to learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
