My Project

As a first year teacher I have put so much of my time and money into making my classroom a place where students can feel at home. However, the cost of starting out is enormous and I am still missing some items that would make my students experience in the classroom more engaging. In my classroom I encourage movement and flexibility, but when students want to sit on the floor they have a very hard time bending over and finding a way that is comfortable. Having lap desks will allow for this flexibility and movement. I want to make my classroom a place where I can be accommodating to my students comfort ability. Having a new book shelf and rolling desk will allow me to display more books and work closely to my students spaces. I am so thankful for anyone who is able to help me build the classroom of my students dreams! Thank you!
