My Project

My students are from Oklahoma but have no idea what we went through to become a united state. These kids come from severe poverty, and I want to create an atmosphere of learning. The colors I chose are historically American. They will love sitting on the couch and sitting in the chair. The lights will illuminate and create an environment of learning. The rug will make the room comfortable. The refrigerator is for the snacks I make for them. They really appreciate this since they rarely receive treats. The posters are symbols of Oklahoma. Over all I want to create an atmosphere of comfort and learning, something they do not get at home.
