My Project

The students in my class, need a little something extra to same calm and focused. I would love to be able to create that environment for them with a diffusor in the classroom and some essential oils.

I would also love to organize my reading groups books for easy access during small group reading.

The pen organizer would be fantastic for at the teacher table for supplies during small group reading and math. The keyboard cove is helpful to protect my computer during the day from any student spills at my table. I would also like to store my bulletin board boarders so I can reuse the throughout the year. The more organized our classroom is the more I can focus on my students learning. I would love to update my class jobs, I feel that if the students respect the classroom more when they help keep it clean and organized.
