My Project

My students love helping to keep our classroom looking and smelling nice. These disinfecting wipes, sanitizer, and air fresheners will help us do just that.

They love listening to stories and music in the listening center so I know they will enjoy having a boombox and cds with books.

I like to give them responsibilities in the class as well and having them pick a job from the job chart will teach them important life skills.

Motivation is a must in my class so having them help me make and put up the bulletin boards encourages and make them strive to do more.

My wonderful scholars are rewarded when they have a good day and these snacks are great incentives to give them.
