My Project

My students love to learn. They may have difficult lives outside of school, but in school they are focused and driven. I like to make my classroom colorful and inviting. The bulletin boards already posted at school are colorless and lifeless.

In order to help my students feel comfortable and ready for the day, I must make the environment colorful and inviting.

Through the use of bulletin board paper and borders, I can spice up the classroom to encourage more learning. Since I am a math teacher, students like to utilize number lines and see visuals of numbers. A number line will ensure that every student has the resources they need in order to learn.
