My Project

The items I have chosen for my students will help make our classroom cozy and functional for them to learn in their best environment! I teach special education fifth graders and they have been asking me for a cozy corner to read and work together in! I would love to use the chart paper and markers for whole group lesson and making visuals to help support their learning! I teach my students reading and math everyday. I want them to love their classroom and set them up for success! Most of my students learning disabilities require them to have different choices for where and how they sit throughout the classroom. I would love to provide the best learning environment for them!
