My Project

As I prepare for the upcoming school year, I want to create a classroom environment where every student feels calm, supported, and ready to learn. This project will help me provide essential organizational tools like book tubs and folders so that our classroom materials are accessible and our space stays tidy and structured. A well-organized room helps students focus, feel confident, and take ownership of their learning.

I'm also requesting a selection of social-emotional learning (SEL) books to support my students' emotional well-being.

These books will be used for read-aloud, discussions, and reflection time — helping students build empathy, resilience, and self-awareness. The decorative border will bring warmth and personality to our classroom walls, making the space feel inviting and safe.

Each item in this project plays a small but meaningful role in creating a classroom where students not only grow academically but also feel seen, supported, and valued. Thank you for helping me build a better space for my learners!
