My Project

As their teacher, it’s super important to me that my students feel seen, heard, and valued. Unfortunately, our classroom hasn’t really felt like a place they can truly call their own. Without a steady teacher, it’s been pretty bare and uninspiring. My students have expressed how much they want a space that reflects who they are—full of their creativity and ideas. They’ve shared some awesome ideas with me, and I’m all in on making that happen, but I need your help to bring their vision to life.

The stuff I’ve got in my cart is key to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, from a rug to lights and oil diffusers.

One big issue they’ve pointed out is the lack of chargers and outlets. With so much of their learning happening on devices, having enough power sources is crucial for keeping them connected and engaged.
