My Project

New Classroom!

I am a new teacher starting in March!

I am so excited to get into a classroom! Materials on my list are just some basics to help with supplies, decorating, and anything extra I could think of that might be needed. I have snacks on my list to help get the students through the day and with testing coming up some full to help get through the test. My idea for the classroom is to have calm lighting and that I why I have added the lamp to help with different types of lighting in the classroom. My goal for these supplies and project is to make the classroom a welcoming and cozy learning environment for my students. I am excited to give these students the learning opportunity! With your help, I can make my classroom the dream classroom I have been wishing and praying for from the beginning!
