My Project

With this year coming to an end, we have started thinking about next year and how we are going to welcome a new group of learners into our room. The beginning of the year is hard for our little ones and we like to be as prepared as we can be to make the transition as smooth as possible.

In this project, there are basic materials that will help us get the year started on a positive note.

Included is everything we will need from new folders to new bulletin board boarders to help make our room nice and exciting and welcoming to our little ones.
