My Project

My purpose is to make sure all of my students feel safe, loved, accepted, seen, and heard every single day they are at school. This area in our room will help many students who on a daily basis experience trauma from their home or community. Just having a place where they can feel safe enough to let their guard down and relax, will help them be successful in their lives. This area may be the only place in their daily life where they can be themself, and let us help them.
