My Project

This project will help create a comfortable, organized, and functional space for students to engage in small-group instruction. Small-group time is essential for providing personalized support, reinforcing key skills, and building strong teacher-student relationships. However, without the right environment, it can be challenging for students to stay focused and feel at ease. By adding items such as flexible seating, storage solutions, office supplies, and calming touches like soft lighting or decor, we can make this space both inviting and effective. Your support will ensure students have the tools and environment they need to receive engaging, meaningful instruction each and every day.
