My Project

I am so excited to be moving classrooms! I want to create a whole new look for the new subject I am teaching, math! I want a brand new theme where students can feel comfortable, cozy, and look around them and see beautiful pastel colors. I am hoping the new theme will help students feel welcomed and excited to learn in my room. I also put on my list come cleaning supplies as well as snacks for motivation. I hope this new look will help engage student learning and help students feel eager to learn.
