My Project

We recently moved to a new room in the school and are trying to get settled in! We despereately need things to help create a comfortable and inviting room! Having an air circulating fan and scents for our oil diffuser will help with the feel of the room creating a calm setting. Adding fun borders and sheer curtains to our windows will create a visual esthetic that builds on the creative space they love!

Giving students a classroom they love to be in ensures student comfort to facilitate true connections!

The Better Than Paper roll was selected by the kids to use to display their work! Throughout the semester, we complete projects that would be perfect for displaying!
