My Project

I am excited to have a change of scenery and to be teaching 7th grade at a new school! My goal is to give my middle schoolers a warm and inviting classroom where everyone will feel welcome and where everyone can do their best learning.

Not every student learns best at a desk, they need seating options.

The tables and stools on my list will provide students with comfortable seating options so they can do their best learning. Students can have a "change of scenery" from their everyday desks when needed.

Having a warm and inviting environment lets students know that they are welcome and wanted. It is important to me to let students know I care, and having a well-organized and beautiful classroom is one way to do that.
