A Festive Start to the New School Year

My Project

Once upon a time we only need a pencil and paper, today we also need phone charges. I am asking for all three, and then some. The flags will fly in my class to give the students a friendly reminder of their homelands.

Students perform better in classrooms where they feel welcomed.

The flags and the fun, colorful paper and folders will bring a bit of joy to the classroom.

From previous projects I received phone charging stations. With this project I will be able to replace missing and damaged cords.
