My Project

My classroom library needs a rug and some cushions for my first graders to get comfy on while reading. The light covers will help dull down the bright florescent lights for any student that gets triggered by bright lights. These will create a more calming atmosphere for reading and everything else we do in the classroom.

Waterproof reading bags that zip, are perfect for my first graders to use as their "take home reading bags".

These bags will be so helpful because they will protect the reading books the kids bring home to read for homework.

The white boards are for math and will be used to create a "thinking classroom". For the first part of math, my students will be given a math question that they have to really think about in order to answer it. The white boards will be vertical on the walls of the classroom for them to work out the problem on.
