My Project
These materials and supplies will help me build my first classroom from scratch. I will be teaching second grade and cannot wait! Some of the materials I added are going to help me create resources and effective lessons for my students (laminator, paper cutter, etc). I have also added supplies my students will use throughout the year (markers, pencil sharpener, etc).
I also believe an important part of second grade is a positive environment.
I have added materials to help create a welcoming, inclusive classroom for my students! Having a birthday wall will ensure they know they are a valued part of our classroom. The rug is another item to help my students feel comfortable. These items create a space that is inviting and calming. Thank you so much for anything and everything provided. My future students and I greatly appreciate it.
