My Project
I am an elementary school counselor in a small, rural school of around 270 students. We just had a major renovation to our school and when we move back in, I will be moving, not into an office, but a full size classroom! I want to not only decorate the space with calming decor, but I also want to have everything I will need so when classes come to me, I won't have to ask teachers to send anything. I am working on creating a calming corner, a classroom instructional space with pods of desks and a small area for groups.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
