My Project

We want to make our classroom a welcoming environment where they can feel safe and secure. I have students who arrive to school late, without eating breakfast. I'd like to have some snacks for the students so they can focus on learning without feeling hungry. It's been a cold winter. Some students come to school without jackets. It'd be helpful to have soft blankets for students. The facial tissues will help with their runny nose and occasional tears when they feel sad. Our classroom pencil sharpener has gotten dull this year, so we'd benefit from a new one.
