My Project

I need your help in transporting my students into a variety of learning environments.

My students work so hard and these transformations will be an exciting, engaging, and unique experience for them.

I have been wanting to create these transformations for some time now but haven't had the resources necessary. I would like to start with a glow transformation and need supplies such as blacklight, decor, and STEAM materials. Students will play review and cooperative learning games. I plan to have a CAMP READS ALOT the last week of school and need a campfire and tablecloths to create tents. All items will be reused each year.
