The students and educators are lucky enough to have a building to call their own; however, now it is time to make the classrooms our own. I have a beautiful huge white board to use with my students; however, due to the previous owners, most of the white board has been significantly damaged. By using dry erase adhesive panels, I will be able to cost effectively create a new white board on top of my old one. Our classroom is lucky in size, because of this the students will be allowed to have flexible seating in our large classroom. It's known that flexible seating leads to burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain! Over 90% of my students are coming from low income families. It is the family and the teachers job to help foster a love of learning for our shared student; however, I believe in this setting, it is also my job to provide my students with the necessary classroom supplies. Haven't you always wanted to create your own classroom from scratch? Well now we have the opportunity to!
