My Project

My students are special because they are 1st grade gifted learners which means they love to wonder and discover! My goal for this project is to create a camping classroom theme for next school year. These items will make a difference by allowing me to create an environment that students are excited to learn and discover in. It will feel like an actual camping destination and it will allow me to center projects and activities around this camping theme. It allows for collaboration amongst students and an exciting place to learn!
