My Project

The office chair ensures comfort during study. We love to have "authors chair" where students can share their writing. We also have a large amount of books that need a new home. The shelf will allow organization and ease to find books and other resources in the classroom. Crafting supplies foster creativity and provide students with a fun way to learn new concepts, while the plastic bins will organize the crafting supplies. Finally, learning games engage and reinforce concepts we work hard to learn throughout the school year. Our goal is to create a stimulating learning environment where every student's unique talents flourish. Our students are special for their diverse backgrounds and eagerness to learn.
