My Project

My classroom is a second home to my students. Not only do I want to make their second home comfortable and clean, but also organized and tidy. I know I work better when my space is clean at home and in the classroom. That's the case for my students as well.

A tidy space is key to a tidy mind.

I want my students to have a space that they can learn in. I try my best to make their space as cozy and clean as possible. I just want to make the classroom a little more organized. I want the ECR4Kids Dress Up Center with Mirrors, Costume Organizer, as a space for them to easily access and store the dramatic play clothes in a nice way. I also want some baskets to store the toys in to keep things tidy. These things will allow the classroom be more organized and tidy for them to have the best learning environment.
