My Project

Cool alternative lighting will provide my students with inviting ambient light in the classroom. The lighting will take over from the harsh standard lights in the classroom and create a more calming and relaxing environment to work in. The spiral top notebooks will provide students with an alternative to traditional side spiral notebooks. The top spiral are more comfortable and create less spiral area to flip when completing work. These new classroom tools will help set my students up for success for the new school year! Help my students read great new books and complete their writing assignments in an engaging learning environment!
