Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

It's difficult to find a peaceful place in a school that serves more than two thousand students. My students need a quiet comfortable place. Often students come to my room to talk , share or just to sit quietly. The furniture, rug, lighting and wall paper will create a cozy corner in my room where students can decompress.

Everyone needs a safe space.

As educators we have learned the importance of emotional health and the impact on learning. This space will allow the students to deal with the stress of the day in a constructive way.

Grades 9-12
