My Project

We are a classroom that is trying to makeover our classroom because we are the modern class. In order for us to be the modern classroom we are in need for some remodeling inside of the room. We have started getting rid of some ancient artifacts in our room. Now we need to replace those thrown out items for some new items. We don’t have the cash to do it ourselves, so we are asking for some helping hands. We need our environment to have the new look of modernization. This is our start list lots more are needed to complete our modern classroom. We need to organize and have things in order. Students are very excited about the facelift that our class is getting. It seems to make students more involve in their classroom and work. I hear my students discussing how the facelift will benefit our classroom. This classroom facelift will not be easy to do. It’s hard without any funds. We are an inclusion class that need your help. Please help us reach our goal in modernizing our class.
