My Project

By providing easy access to a variety of books and engaging reading materials, I aim to enhance students’ literacy skills and foster a lifelong love for reading.

The morning meeting area will promote social skills such as turn-taking, active listening, and expressing ideas, contributing to emotional intelligence and positive peer interactions.

We need an area rug and storage baskets to make our morning meeting area a success.

Finally, this area will help me by creating a welcoming space where students can gather for morning meetings and shared reading experiences which will strengthen classroom community bonds and a sense of belonging. SEL is a huge part of my classroom as I believe in creating relationships before learning.
