My Project

In this project, I have a variety of cute, festive decorations to put up in my classroom throughout the school year. There’s nothing more exciting for my second grade students than to come to school and have an environment that is cutely decorated to make them feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

I also have some comfy new floor cushions for my students to use when they’re working independently or with a partner.

My students absolutely love sitting in different places around the room and they will be thrilled to have these! Providing students with flexible seating options is important because students can choose where they would like to work. This leads to better engagement and more incentive to learn.

I have also included a variety of different baskets to organize our new floor cushions and other various items students use on a daily basis.

My goal with this project was to create an enchanting environment that will help students to feel the love and care that I have put into our classroom.

I love making my students feel loved and cared for and this project will provide them with just that!
