My Project

I am planning to use these materials to make my classroom more comfortable and welcoming to my students and promote their learning. Some of these supplies are inspirational figures and images that will be used to decorate my classroom and inspire my students. Some of the materials, such as the Samoan tapestry allow my students to see their culture represented in the classroom. Some of the other materials are a classroom set of colored pencils which are very important because I like to give my students ample opportunities to work on art that can then be used to enrich our learning and beautify our classroom.
