My Project

These items will do wonders to make the classroom learning environment less restrictive for all students. The headphones will increase access for students by allowing them to do individual work and help them focus; the headphone bags will teach them organization and accountability.

Expanding on organization, the pencil sharpeners will be fastened to their desks with Velcro to make sure they are not making a mess with pencil shavings.

The snacks will act as rewards in our classroom store, where students can save up tickets to purchase items. The LEGO set will be used in social studies class... specifically for geography (I love how every continent is labeled). Batteries will be used to power various learning devices in the classroom.
