My Project

My plan is to add a few items to our classroom to make it feel more like a home. The welcome mat will make students "want" to be in our classroom. Once inside they will be greeted with a calming night light and sky-covered lights. The grow lights will be used to keep our indoor plants strong and green. Students will have jobs to ensure the plants are watered and are doing well.

Most importantly, having a lamp and real plants will help students want to come to school to learn.

Students will take pride in taking care of our classroom.

The additional wall chargers will allow students to continue to work in small groups when their battery is low on their devices. Having keychains and other small toys will help students want to earn points for our weekly prize box.
