My Project

It is the little things that make a classroom a dynamic environment where students are cherished and their voices heard. When students are given a voice and have input into what the classroom looks and feels like, student's take pride and ownership of the learning environment.

A classroom is a space for students to make choices and have reign over learning.

Materials need to be available for students to USE and explore. All sorts of things are used to help our youngest learners thrive.

Art materials are a must and always need to be replaced. Supplies like heavy paper, glitter pens, scissor skills books, fancy collage materials and glow in the dark paint, bring a touch of sparkle and magic to the classroom. All of these items make creating more fun and exciting.

Building is another staple in the classroom. Items like play dough or colorful wood sorting pieces need replacing too. These items help students met their own sensory needs, smashing play dough or designing mandalas with wooden shapes, give students the feeling of calm and control.

Classrooms for young learners are loud creative spaces, which need materials to offer students opportunities to enable their own learning, which is a benefit to all.
