A Home Away from Home

Help me give my students a peaceful, organized 3rd grade classroom that feels like home. Seat sacks and privacy boards will help my students to keep track of their things and lessen distractions.

My Project

I am switching grade levels next year to teach 3rd. I will be moving to a new classroom and want to provide a calm, refreshing and organized environment for my new group of kiddos.

Fostering a comfortable learning environment is so important to me, because students that aren't comfortable will struggle to learn.

This project will help me replace and renew some of my classroom materials and decorations. After teaching for over a decade, some of my classroom decorations and materials are outdated or damaged. It is time for a refresh!
