My Project

There is a large corner area right outside my room that looks so sad! My goal this year is to make it a comfy reading and work area to incentivize students to use it. This area has been a "catch all" for peoples trash and random things left on the floor. I want to make it look exciting and fresh, so other classes in our corner of the building can use it too. I truly believe that when students feel comfortable and cozy, they are more inclined to learn, and especially read.
