New Grade, New Reading Nook

Help me give my students new classroom decor for our reading nook in our new classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gray's classroom raised $182

My Project

This year I am moving to a brand new grade level! In this classroom, I will strive to provide a neutral calming environment by having neutral walls and decor for students to look at throughout the day.

I will use the baskets and wall hangings to decorate our classroom to create a calming and fun learning environment where students feel like our classroom is a home each and every day.

This classroom decor will help students relax and focus throughout our lessons and we will use the bins to store our reading books, hang the reading poster on the wall to encourage and promote reading, and the baskets for students to place books in after they are done reading them and are ready for those books to be put back on the shelf. Each of these pieces has been purposefully picked out. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about my project and classroom!
