My Project

It is no secret that classroom environment has a significant impact on student learning! Students thrive in environments in which they feel welcomed and comfortable. The items requested in this project will ensure that our classroom is organized, restocked, and cozy for the upcoming school year. The bulletin board paper, card stock, and tapestry will be used to create beautiful bulletin boards. The pencils, electric sharpener, tape, and markers will be used to restock our community supplies. The magnetic shelves, 3-tier tray, and magnetic hooks will be used to keep our classroom organized. By transforming our classroom and stepping away from the traditional classroom setting, students will feel as if our classroom is their home away from home. With your help and support, I will be able to create a classroom that will lead students to success!
