My students need a safe, welcoming space to learn. When they enter my room, it is often the first time they have ever been to school. Some may have come from a refugee camp or a rural school in Central America with very limited supplies and 40 other students in the class.
I want to create a welcoming, functional learning space where the students are able to adjust to Americanized schooling and culture as smoothly as possible. A classroom rug will give us a comfortable meeting place for all students to learn and discuss their experiences in their new home country. Beanbag chairs will allow students a place to build their literacy skills comfortably while they read or have a place to reflect during writing time. Picture frames will allow students to display pictures of their family or highlight their new or old favorite places. International flags will help celebrate all the students' beautiful cultures!
