My Project

I work at a Pre-K-8 school located on the Lower East Side. Students who attend our school, come from EVERY borough in New York City. Some students receive free or reduced rate lunch. Although not rich in resources, my second and third graders are the most amazing, passionate, curious thinkers, builders, and explorers. They are learning and growing every day. They enjoy coming to school, love all subjects, and have a desire to learn. They motivate me and enrich my passion for teaching. In an effort to close the achievement gap, I would like to provide my students with the resources to enhance learning opportunities.

In our classroom we need a place for students to "call home." Second and Third graders will be able to have the option of using the cozy corner with your help.

A cozy corner with a comfy rug and pillows in our class will give students a place to read, relax, and calm down. Students will be able to make the choice to go to the cozy corner during reading, writing, or during tough times when they need to calm. In social studies, we learn about regulating our emotions, specifically what to do when we feel angry. The cozy corner will now be an option that students will have and I know they will love it.
