My Project

It's almost time to start a new school year and I am working to update important things in my classroom. My classroom is space-themed and instead of a "Calm Corner" I have "Dwarf Planets." These "Dwarf Plants" allow students to have personal space and sensory tools that are easily accessible.

It's time to blast off into second grade!

With the start of a new school year means it's time to update, decorate, and organize. This project is for a variety of sensory tools for my students. The slow-rise squishes are very popular among students and can be carried with them when needed. The sensory stickers will be put on tables, desks, and art boxes. I also made sure to get enough sensory supplies so that these would be enough for all the students for the entire school year.

Thank you in advance for helping to get these much needed supplies for the 2024-2025 school year!
