My Project

This project is designed to help to refresh and revitalize our 72 Year Old Classroom that is in need of some major love. By providing these supplies, you will help to create a space that looks bright and welcoming while also providing a level of functionality that is currently missing.

Chaos breeds chaos and by providing these supplies you are helping to remove chaos and foster functionality in my classroom.

The clipboards and colored pens will facilitate collaborative group work and encourage peer to peer feedback. The desk organizers will help to create a missed work center for students to take agency over their own return from absences by obtain their own assignments and manage their own learning.

Thank you for helping us create a warm and welcoming classroom that is ready for the new school year.
