My students are Juniors and Seniors who study US History at a reorganized urban high school. My students travel from all over the city to attend class, some walk from the public housing across the street while others ride the subway for an hour each way. They are curious to learn more about the world and make their families proud. Most plan to attend college but are concerned about passing their state assessments first. My classroom is filled with uncomfortable desks, white washed walls, and tile floors. It is an uninspiring space to learn and so I have begun to fill it with student projects, posters, a fish tank, and bookshelves to make the space more inviting and warm.
