My Project

The intention of this project is to make every school year feel special! I like to change up my classroom decor and theme every year to make it inviting and exciting.

These materials will make my classroom exciting and inviting for all the incoming students.

The bulletin board paper is to make the classroom look inviting and warm. The baskets and timers are to create organization and routine for the classroom. The inflatable chairs are exciting to use and help to implement flexible seating in the classroom. Lastly the trampoline is for the children to get in movement and sensory input when needed.
