My Project

This project is to help be more organized and ready for the school year starting off with SENSORY toys to help regulate those big emotions for the beginning of the school year. We also need some materials like bead storage containers to keep the classroom organized and independent for the kiddos.

The confetti will help create that beginning of the year magic for those kids who are feeling nervous about their first day!

The read aloud will help teach classroom rules and expectations for those kiddos who need to hear it and see it to understand what is expected of them and the all about me posters will help my students get to know each other. The lollipops are a great motivator!
