My Project

My high school classroom this year, is a storage supply closet. I am not kidding. It has a giant column in the middle of the room that obstructs the view, no windows and is very small. My classes have up to thirty-one students and it is very cramped. I am trying to give my students the opportunity to feel cozy in the room, instead of claustrophobic. I am adding lights and decorations, as well as stations for learning and a pair of bluetooth speaker. I am trying to make the room a space where kids like spending time.
