My Project

In this class, we strive to create a soothing, clean, and organized learning environment where the students have access to all of the tools that they need to succeed.

Due to the various needs of my students we do small group work daily to meet the needs of all of our learners.

A private desk and easel will be a great space to present new material to students in private environment. The chair protectors will ensure a smooth and quiet transition as students move throughout the classroom.

My students, like myself, need an organized space in order to learn. We will use the binders in order to organize our assignments across all subject areas. I will also use the plastic containers to keep the materials that we use throughout the year organized and easily accessible.

Please help us to create a space to encourage a new year of lifelong learners!
