My Project

I would like to create a personalized classroom space for children where the feel safe and which is also inviting. Quarterly I would like the change the theme of the classroom based on the interest of the children. I would also like to make personal games for the learning centers where children can interact and learn while they play. For instance if we are learning about transportation, I would create a vehicle table top game that children can interact with independently and along with me. I know with your help my students will thrive in the classroom.
