My Project

I am so excited about this new school year! One of the things we do as a class is create a student-generated classroom. This allows students to make all the decorations themselves, giving them ownership in the classroom and truly making it feel like a home away from home. They will make their own sound wall, family tree, and more!

Basic supplies will allow us to create elaborate designs to make our classroom pop.

I can't wait to share what they create with you! We should also have enough supplies left over to do art projects all year, as well as make our new portfolios! All of these tools will be an essential part of our social emotional learning as we grow together!
