My Project
My goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment by designing two unique spaces that support student growth beyond academics. The Morning Choice Area will allow students to engage in board games, interactive activities, and even virtual reality experiences that spark creativity, peer connection, and critical thinking using the Umety VR Headset Starting the day with choice and meaningful interaction helps students build confidence and a strong classroom community.
In addition, I want to establish a Personal Care Corner filled with hygiene products for students in need.
This quiet, discreet space will empower students to take care of themselves with dignity—whether it’s grabbing deodorant, feminine hygiene products, or toothpaste. Every student deserves to feel comfortable and cared for throughout the school day.
In addition, a mini frige will be used to store healthy snacks and meals for students who may need extra nourishment during the day. No child should have to worry about being hungry while trying to learn.
These spaces are small changes that will make a big impact—supporting my students' social, emotional, and physical well-being. Your support will help create a classroom that feels safe, engaging, and full of opportunity for every child.
