My Project

My students love to play chess, read, and sit on something besides their desk! They also love seeing the classroom decorated so I want to use the staple gun to put up more decorations and even a picture wall! My students have expressed a lot of interest in books about more fiction combined with non-fiction and culture, I hope to add Kindred to my library as I know they will love that book. We use the audiobook a lot and I want to take my students outside to read so I will use the bluetooth speaker. The headphones will be our class set for doing audiobooks and i-Ready lessons.
