Classroom Beautification!

Help me give my students a beautiful classroom. Our class had to split in half and use two classrooms. Our second room needs to be beautified to motivate students to want to be there and learn.

My Students

This is my first year teaching and I was put in a class full of the greatest students on earth. They are 4th grade special education children who are learning the English language and who are very eager to learn. They are very inquisitive, full of laughs, and just genuinely curious.

My Project

We are in the process of (hopefully) getting a library for our classroom. Right now, we are borrowing the library from the room next door because that class is fully remote. This order will provide us with bins to put our new books in. It will also help us to create bulletin boards in our room with boarders, and put up labels to define sections in our room.

We are a special education class and we need warm colors to stimulate our minds.

Right now, our classroom is very bland with little color. We need colors to get us excited about learning. Let's make school fun!
