My Project

The students that visit my classroom come from all grade levels. It's nice to give them seating choices when they are reading independently. I could also use a teacher chair since I don't have one.

I am also requesting two rolling carts to put games and toys on that can be easily moved around the room.

They take up less space and make it easy for all students to access. The overall goal is organization and to make my classroom a welcoming environment for all the students in the school!
