My Project

Many of my students are moving into this middle school classroom after years of being in the same elementary classroom. Along with myself, they are extremely excited about this transition and the new school year. These items would go such a long way in creating a colorful, joyful place for them.

With these items it is my goal to create a classroom that students enjoy spending time in, a classroom that is conducive to learning, a classroom where creativity flows!

This classroom is for all the middle schoolers in the school and is self-contained. My students and I will spend the entire day in this classroom which makes it especially important for it to be welcoming and comfortable.

Ms. Montgomery
Grades 6-8
