My Project

The resources in this project will go towards the start of the 2025-2026 school year. This project is centered around new classroom management strategies and classroom comfortability. Students learn and grow the best in an environment where they feel the most comfortable. I want my third graders to feel like they are at home in my classroom and a place that they look forward coming to every day. Students spend more time at school than at their own homes, so I might as well try to make it feel like a home. I put the students at the forefront when choosing the items for this projects. Computer mice are used so students can access their chromebooks with ease! A standing desk will be used so I can teach from anywhere in the room and not have to stand at the SmartBoard.
