My Project

My class are amazing second graders in Queens NY In an ICT classroom, comprised a variety of diverse learners! I know the more welcoming and calming the classroom environment is, my students are able to focus better and better access knowledge. I will do this by creating color coded classroom library, flexible seating for completing work and reading nooks. In our break area, I want students to have a safe space to go to when needed, to calm their minds, be comfortable and express themselves. Having soft, easy to clean materials would benefit the class tremendously.
