My Project

My students realize the rug every day. We currently have a carpet that is built for classroom wear and tear. It is creased & stained. I know they would be thrilled to have a more excellent place to sit & learn. Tape is a huge part of organizing and hanging decorations. The students use excellent paper for some crafts. Lastly, my students love using markers. They want to color so much more when I allow them to use markers. I think it's because they are so vibrant. They do well with markers, too.
