My Project

For this project, I am requesting a small desk, two stools, sanitary items, and bulletin board decor. A designated area with a small study desk and stools will provide students with a retreat where they can work independently, take a break when feeling overwhelmed, or receive one-on-one support. This space will help minimize distractions and encourage students to develop concentration skills, boosting their confidence and academic performance. Providing tissues and hand sanitizer ensures students can care for their basic hygiene needs without disruptions. Easy access to these items makes students feel more comfortable and secure in their environment. The bulletin board paper and decor are more than decorations, as they allow for the creation of visually calming displays, inspirational messages, and structured spaces for student work.

While items like desks, stools, sanitary supplies, and bulletin board paper may seem small, they play a crucial role in creating a calm, structured, and supportive environment where students can focus, feel secure, and engage in learning.

Thank you for helping create a calm, supportive classroom where all students can thrive!
