My Project

We want to create a classroom that is beautiful, warm, and inviting so that our students are excited to return to in-person learning in the Fall. Our students will be spending most of their time in the classroom, therefore we want to create a stimulating and colorful space for them.

These decorations, bulletin board paper, bulletin board sets, and border, will help our students feel welcomed and will make our classroom feel like a home!

The borders and fadeless paper will help me create a positive and exciting classroom environment. Our goal is for all of our students to feel at ease and welcomed into our classroom.
