My Project

Our classroom is changing all throughout the year. The bulletin boards in the classroom change so many times during the year, sometimes even multiple times a month. I like the change the bulletin board paper as well as the work on the board. If the work is constantly changing, I believe the background should change occasionally with it.

The students also can't have enough writing paper!

I love to give my students journals as well as writing books. Sometimes my students don't want to talk out how they're feeling so I encourage them to write or draw it out. Having extra notebooks is always helpful to make sure my students always have a place to express themselves!
