My Project

This year I have the pleasure of teaching just math to a few wonderful classes. In order to get them ready to learn and stay engaged the classroom needs to be fresh, bright and full of fun math references.

A bright, cheerful classroom is the first thing that students see when they walk in.

Having a positive mind set about math is really important. These decorative bulletin board supplies will help me start to make this classroom into a great learning environment.

The fun, confetti theme will be all around. The contrast between the bright colors on a white or black background really pop and keep the students’ attention, while the math posters help them remember what learning is all about.
