My Project

My students are incredibly special because of their enthusiasm, curiosity, and creativity. Every day, they come to class ready to explore new ideas and tackle challenges with a positive attitude. They are so supportive and encouraging of one another and create a warm and inclusive classroom community. They approach each task with a growth mindset and a willingness to persevere.

The goals for this project are to transform our classroom into a warm and inviting space where my students feel a true sense of belonging and comfort.

By adding a smiley face rug, I hope to create a special area for group activities and discussions, where students can work together and learn from each other. Overall, my aim is to create a classroom environment that is not only comfortable and visually appealing, but also supports my students' focus, engagement, and emotional well-being, making them feel ready and eager to learn every day.
