First Year Teacher Classroom

Help me give my students a classroom that can support all of their needs. I am a first-year teacher for a 3rd grade classroom and need some help to create a space where students feel comfortable.

My Project

I will have a classroom full of diversity and varying needs. I am starting from scratch and want to fill the space with all the things to support the students. I want to provide the students with books to meet them where they are in their reading abilities. I also want to make them excited to learn, and by getting materials that gear towards their interest. I have wanted to be an educator since I was in 3rd grade, and I can’t wait to create a classroom to care for my students. My goal is to encourage and motivate young learners so that they can achieve their dreams!
