My Project

My students love coming to school especially for the peaceful environment they are able to enjoy. I take pride in creating a space that makes the kids in my building feel comfortable and excited about learning. The rug and cushions will be placed in the reading area where students are able to relax, do their work and enjoy a book. I will use the border and tassel maker to create items to decorate our classroom and use it on projects throughout the year. The sign holders will serve as a place to hold important information and will also be used during instructional games and activities. I know that my students will enjoy these items and can't wait to see what we are able to create.
