My Project

These items will help to improve the organization of the learning environment for all students. The materials will help enhance the classroom and the development of a more creative setting. The letters and beautiful borders will help to set the scene for the rainforest biomes that we will be studying. As students learn about animal and plant adaptations they will be able to present their work on presentation boards that will have bold signs with large letters and borders representing the theme. Student work will also be protected and preserved using the laminating sheets. We also aim to use the laminating sheets to create clocks to show lapses time. These will be displayed around the classroom. Many of the items will be used to support the learning of all students and will also help to support the organizational needs of the classroom.
