My Project

I aim to show my students how to stay organized and productive and also provide supplies that not all of my students will have access too. These materials are just a small step in the direction of building my new classroom!

I am excited to be moving grades next year and have some big things in store!

I want to be able to provide a clean and functional classroom where students can learn how to be self-efficient and start accessing materials on their own time as they need them. I also am working on new center organizers as well as new calendars for morning meeting! I have also included seat pockets to keep morning work easily accessible for students when they arrive in the morning.

Grades 3-5
