My Project

I have an awesome class! They work hard and play hard. The materials I chose for this project will help us finish the year strong. We have end of the year assessments approaching quickly. The privacy partitions help the kids concentrate and minimizes distractions. Many of my student get sidetracked from simple things. The snacks will keep their energy up before and after. We also want to incorporate some fun art projects at the end of the day when they finish their assessments. They absolutely enjoy expressing themselves with paint and canvases!
