My Project

We will also use the floor lamps as an addition to our reading area to create a warm and inviting area.

I will use the 3-d animal erasers as desk pets for our reward system.

In my class, the kids earn points for good behavior. The points for good behavior can be redeemed for a desk pet. My class LOVES their pets.

The magnets and lamination packets will be used to help organize our weekly reading focus wall. We will have our vocabulary words, reading focus and word analysis neatly displayed.
