Classroom Improvement!

Help me give my students the best 2nd grade experience they soul ask for! I have been building the classroom of my dreams for the past few years. I've been making great progress but I'm not there yet!

My Project

Hello!

Help me achieve the classroom of my dreams!

I have been working very hard to ensure that my students are getting the best possible experience every time they step into my classroom.

Too often I hear, "Mr. M, I don't have ______." I try my best to provide the basic necessities such as pencil, markers, erasers, glue, scissors, etc. so that each student can have an equitable experience.

Due to being in an outdated and uncomfortable classroom/building, I wanted to give them some more appealing seating options with the rug and the pillows.

Please help as much as you feel comfortable!

Mr. Miazio Gilbert Spruance Elementary School Grades PreK-2
