My Project

The items in this project are items that we use daily in our classroom. The dustpans and brushes will help them have independence as they take responsibility for their actions and help keep our classroom neat and tidy. Composition books are used daily as we work in our interactive notebooks and glue in pages that make learning fun.

Our classroom is an active place where learning takes place in multiple ways.

With students moving around the classroom as they learn messes tend to happen. Dry erase markers are used during classroom discussions to allow all students to participate by writing their answers down on a dry erase board.
