My Project

The materials I am requesting for this project include Teddy Bears, LED Lights, Folders, and Stamps. I want to use the teddy bears and the Led Lights during our reading time to make our classroom calm and quiet classroom in order for our students to focus. I also added Folders, Stamps, and Stickers in order to help our students succeed by making sure all of their work is put together. I believe as teachers we need to show our students that we are so proud of their growth and work. I think the Stamps and Stickers will motivate my students to continue working harder!
