My Project

As a teacher who loves to see my students thriving both academically and emotionally, I'm beyond excited to pitch my idea for creating a chill-out zone in our classrooms! Picture this: a cozy corner decked out with a snazzy carpet and a funky floor lamp. And guess what? Many of my students are from immigrant and refugee families, so this space will be extra special for them!

In today's crazy world, our students are bombarded with distractions left, right, and center.

But fear not! I'm on a mission to give them a magical escape right here in our classroom. Imagine a place where they can kick back, relax, and recharge their brain batteries.

This chill-out space will be their ultimate hideaway—a place to zen out and get their study groove on. With a plush carpet and a soft floor lamp, we're turning a boring old corner into a secret sanctuary where learning feels more like an adventure.
