My Project

This amazing project will help me to creating a welcoming and safe classroom environment for all my students. The black and white borders and bulletin board paper will bring a new look and feel to our classroom while also providing students a learning environment which is non-distracting and allows them to focus on their tasks at hand. The color scheme has been chosen based on research which states that students learn best in an environment where the focus in on the academic/social emotional material rather than having a variety of colors which could over stimulate and distract from learning. Thank you and please know that your support is truly appreciated!
