My Project

My students love to learn and have fun. Our school is year round and we start up again in July.

Many of my students come to school every year without any school supplies.

My school doesn't have enough headphones for every student, and my students do not bring them. The markers, glue, pencils, and paper will all be used for instruction with my students. I want my students to feel at home in my class, therefore, I want to have alternative seating for them. I will use the stools, cushions, & bean bag chair as this seating.
