My Students: 
I’m a first-year teacher at a Title 1 school with about 78% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Many of my students are coming to school for the first time. I want to create an exciting and interactive space to foster their need to move, be hands-on, explore, and make new friends while giving stability in a safe and loving environment.
My Project: 
I want to give students the opportunity to lead the way in their own learning. We can start enriching the students’ learning by using hands-on manipulatives that will provide opportunities to explore, create, engage, and collaborate. Students will also be able to use their imagination and develop social skills through role-playing and dramatization. I also hope to give them a routine place to meet as a class for read-alouds, class meetings, group activities, team-building, and much more.
My Students Need: 
My students need building blocks and manipulatives, role-playing tools, and a group carpet.
