My Project

Did you ever feel so frustrated you wanted to crawl out of your skin? That is how my students feel every day. Together with another project, I am looking to add furniture to create a peaceful area in the room where my students can take a break from their frustration. They can put together puzzles or listen to music.

Sometimes everyone needs a little break.

This center will give them a chance to get away from the frustration. This area should reduce aggression towards themselves and others. It will help them learn and grow academically. This area will reduce negative behaviors in the classroom.
