I teach 7th and 8th grade Language Arts. I currently teach a CTT class with both general ed and special ed students. My special ed learners really need visual engagement, and a well decorated classroom helps hold their interest!

Look inside any middle school classroom and you will find a reason to be bored. Dull, drab rooms do not make students eager to learn. A room full of color opens the student's eyes and mind!

In order to create my jungle I need various borders, bulletin board paper and supplies, as well as organizational holders for these materials. These engaging resources will really benefit my students. Imagine learning in a jungle - anything could happen in there!

A boring classroom doesn't hold a student's interest. I want my students to be excited about coming into my room and learning something new! My kids will be so excited to find their work hung on a themed bulletin board! Your help will ensure that my students ENJOY learning - imagine that! You will make fun learning possible with your support for my project! Please help me turn my middle school classroom into a jungle and next year we'll have a roaring good time!
