My Project

After several years of teaching in the same grade level, I will be moving to a new grade this year. I will also be working with all students, our classes are departmentalized, and I will be teaching science and Virginia studies.

My goal with this project is to prepare my classroom with new supplies to fit the needs of my new grade level and the changing groups of students throughout the day.

Three-shelf storage containers are for my table groups so each homeroom can have a separate place for their supplies. The carpets are for the front of our classroom and our classroom library. The rolling desk is so that I can move around as needed to greet students and move around during lessons while keeping my resources in one place.
