My Project

Hello! This project is to create a more thought provoking classroom! I have been doing some research and have learned quickly how students learn & think better when in a classroom.

These specific items would aide students in coming up with original thought and provide them better materials to collaborate with their peers.

With the items they will get more of an opportunity to work on vertical non-permanent surfaces that allow for active thought without consequence.

This project would provide my students a new avenue to expand their minds and help them indulge deeper in their education.
