My Project

The items that I have requested are to help create a classroom where my students are excited to come in and learn everyday. A place where they can be their self while thriving academically. The organization bins will be used to keep students work and supplies organized and easy for them to access. The rug will be used to set up a cozy area in the reading corner for students to sit comfortably as they read. I will use the stool to help with hanging students work around the classroom. I want to thank you all for your contributions as we rev up for this new school year.
