My Project

For this project I am asking for supplies to make my classroom warm and inviting. I will use the furniture to make my learning space warm and inviting. The plants will be used to help teacher the younger students that I service about a plants life cycle and plant parts. I will use the plants to perform experiments with the older students that I service. Each week I will task a different student with watering the plants! This will teach the students about responsibility. I will use the colored paper in this project to help decorate the room with words of encouragement to assist with their learning.
