My Project

I want the students to be able to have a place where they feel comfortable and are able to use their imagination and be creative. These items will benefit my students to be able to have flexible seating throughout the classroom and help create a literacy center, using the color circles, markers, and writing (pencil sharpener) will aid in comprehension. Laminating the hands-on activities to be able to display and save for longevity. Most of all creating a comfortable environment will help with motivating the students to imagine and create.
