My Project

I am moving to a new school that has bright green classroom walls. The green is fairly bright, so I want to make sure the accents are not quit as bold. These new items will go well with green and will freshen up the already in place decor.

Students deserve a well decorated and inspired area with creative seating and decor.

These students will be able to utilize the seating as needed during the day to help with comfort and focus.

The decor will be welcoming, calming and inviting. Students should want to come to class and work!
