My Project

My classroom is small and oddly shaped. It is in one of the oldest buildings on our campus. This results in the students being crowded and the room having a musty smell.

These items will help create a homey environment the students will want to learn in.

The wax warmer will help mask the old, musty smell our building produces. I will string the lights across the ceiling to provide alternate lighting. The thin table will provide extra working room while not taking up much space. The power strips will allow the class to charge computers as well as plug in hot glue guns to use for projects since there are only 3 outlets in my classroom.

Mrs. Fryar
Grades 9-12
  • Atkins High School
  • Atkins, AR
    • More than half of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 140 students.
