My Project

My students love Build a Bear. I have gotten a few new materials for newer students in my class so that they can learn SEL lessons with bears and accessories like the other students in my class. Also, comfy socks are needed for upper grade students I work with as well. These socks will keep them warm this winter season. The candles will be great ambiance to the classrooms to create a comfortable classroom environment in each room throughout the school as they learn all they need to learn this year.
