My Project

This project is going to help my students feel both ready and comfortable within our classroom. With over 24 bodies in one room, there will be some mess. It would be extremely helpful to have cleaning devices and products that will take away that mess immediately and effectively. That way, the mess doesn’t get in the way of the students' learning.

Having available school supplies for students will help alleviate the stress of the students and families.

The added flexible seating will just put a nice touch of home away from home for the students. The classroom should always be warm, inviting, and conducive to learning. Thank you for your contributions to our classroom!
