My Project

Please help provide my students with inviting classroom decorations to put on my bulletin boards, birthday cards and stickers, and calming corner fidgets. Our classroom is our home away from home, and we spend a lot of time there! Having these items would help make my classroom more welcoming for all my students.

Decorating my classroom with colorful bulletin boards would help make it more inviting!

Also, being able to provide calming corner fidgets would help students calm down when they are having strong feelings. These items would benefit my students for the new school year!
