My Project

That LED bubble tube lamp will create a really engaging and calming sensory corner in my classroom, perfect for quiet reflection or a visual break for students. The storage center will be a lifesaver for keeping all those little supplies organized for table groups and also within easy reach for second graders. And those dry erase pocket sleeves? They'll make worksheets and activities reusable, saving paper and giving students a fun, interactive way to practice skills! I will also use some to display student work on the walls for all to see.
