My Project

To learn, children and adolescents need to feel safe and supported. Without these conditions, the mind reverts to a focus on survival. Educators in high-performing, high-poverty schools have long recognized the critical importance of providing a healthy, safe, and supportive classroom and school environment.

It is my goal to have each child feel safe and comfortable while they are in my classroom.

I am hoping to make my classroom feel as homey as possible. My students will succeed if they are comfortable. I would love to get this storage cart, clock, bulletin board decorations to make the classroom a place they will absolutely love.

Mr. Hindi Norman S Weir Elementary School Grades PreK-2
