My Project

This project is to help me make fun and engaging activities for my class, while also keeping things organized. The Circuit will help me to make fun learning games and centers. The vinyl will be used for the different activities. I will use the storage bins to store extra supplies. The water is for my students as we are not able to use the water fountains at school due to the pandemic. These items will help me to be an even better teacher and allowing my students to engage in new learning activities.
