My Project

In our classroom we do a lot of work together on the floor. We would love a nice, new carpet to make our learning more enjoyable. I like my students to have a choice of where they do their work, so a comfortable, big carpet would give them another option.

Working and learning together as a large group is a great way to collaborate, have good discussions, and share thoughts and ideas.

Having a good central place in our room can help make that happen!

We would also like necessary supplies such as Expos for our phonics lessons; white construction paper, cardboard frames, bags, and tape for crafts; and Sharpies to help make our writing stand out.

Having a classroom conducive for learning and equipped with necessary supplies is the goal of all teachers!
