My Project

All of our students are required to read, learn phonics etc. Much easier said than done when things all look the same, especially your environment. Students need a space in which they feel calm, relaxed, and at ease, being that the stress of reading can be difficult for some.

This is why my project will mean so much to my students and that's why having this project funded will give my students a space to come to in which they are excited, enthused and overcome with calmness and feel much more at ease while learning.

It will provide an out of classroom space in which they look forward to coming and learning, forgetting about their day to day struggles with reading, writing and phonics.

I don't want our room to be a typical space. I want much more for my scholars. So please help me make my vision come to life, to give each one of my students the best possible outcome for learning.
