My Project

My goal with this project is to finally have space and items for my students where they will feel comfortable to self-regulate and equipment to help them do that.

As a new teacher, my students have given me a newfound joy in my life.

The excitement they give when I walk into the classroom shows me that I am giving them a safe place to be and learn, my students are special to me because they show me every time I’m here to keep going to make a difference in their life and other students in the future that will be in my class.

The carpet and canopy will help and make a difference in their learning by helping my students to regulate themselves when feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
