A Shelf Is a House for a Book!

Help me give my students supplies to allow them to be creative with their projects. I have included a shelf, rug, and lights because I want to create a space that is welcoming and comfortable for all students.

My Project

I have specifically requested markers, pencils, and a paper cutter because these are things that we have needed over the past semester, especially when it came to creating projects.

Something I absolutely nothing love about my students is their insane level of creativity when they are given the time and supplies to do so!

I want my classroom to be a space where students feel they can relax while learning. This is why I included book shelves, lights, and a rug. I think this will help students feel more welcomed here!
