My Students

My amazing students will step into the classroom in early August. Some of them will be returning from our school’s PreK program. For many of them, this will be their very first school experience.

Little do these five year olds know, but they will quickly become readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and artists.

It is my job as their teacher to create a classroom environment where students can collaborate and feel safe to take control of their own learning.

Many of my students live below the poverty line. 81% of students at our school receive free or reduced lunch.

My Project

My vision for this classroom is to create a calm, safe learning environment for my students. Earth tones have been proven to create a calming effect and create feelings of warmth. The classroom will be a relaxing and safe space for all students.

In addition to the soothing effect of its colors, this rug will be used for students to sit on while learning as a whole group and during partner work.

Students will each have their own seat along the perimeter as well as on a square in the center of the rug. This will allow for various grouping structures.
