My Project

Help us turn our classroom in to a home away from home. These items have been requested by my Advisory students to help turn our classroom into an environment that calms their anxieties, and inspires them to find the joy in learning!

This list was compiled collaboratively with the help of my Junior advisory students who will be Seniors next year.

They have gone through a lot in their high school experience including at-home and hybrid learning. I want to make our classroom a true home away from home in this, their last year(s) of high school.

Thank you so much for your help with completing this project! It can't be done without your compassion and support! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
