My Project

Help us create a nature inspired classroom community where we can collaborate and connect. We will use the rug to meet together for morning meeting and work flexibly around the room with the floor cushions. We also love nature and will be inspired by the calm natural colors of plants, water, and sky. We are a diverse, science loving class of 27 fifth graders who will benefit from enhancements to our learning space as we start a new school year! We need to feel connected and safe so we can learn and be successful.
