My Project

School starts on August 17 and I need help decorating my classroom for my 24 third-graders that will be walking into our classroom! I will be using the letters to decorate the bulletin board and classroom to make the room welcoming for my students.

Our building has no windows so I love to make our space as nice as possible so that my students are excited to be there!

The chime will be used as a peaceful attention grabber for my kiddos and lastly the chair pockets will be used so that my students have a space to put all their materials. Thanks for your help :)
