My Project

I would love to start a new school year with new mailboxes for my students to store their folders and workbooks. The current ones have been used for two years and are not as sturdy as I had hoped they would be; the ones requested in this project are sturdier and I hope to use them for many years to come.

Also, I would like to refresh my classroom decor with new posters and plants that create a natural and calming learning environment, as the current ones are in dire need of replacement.

These replacement items will certainly help create and foster a welcoming environment for my students, many of whom are coming to school for the first time.
