My Project

To learn, children and adolescents need to feel safe and supported. Without these conditions, the mind reverts to a focus on survival. Educators in high-performing, high-poverty schools have long recognized the critical importance of providing a healthy, safe, and supportive classroom and school environment.

It is my goal to have each child feel safe, comfortable, and confidant while they are in my classroom.

I am hoping to make my classroom feel as homey as possible. I am in need of places to show off their work and take pride in themselves. A felt bulletin board, frame, and more will help! My students will succeed if they are comfortable. Bulletin boards where the students can display their art, and most cherished schoolwork will help make them proud of themselves.
