My Project

My students love to read about and research the safari, and themed classroom would be a great way to engage the students in learning. When the students first walk into my classroom next year, I want them to either connect to the theme or wonder about why a teacher would decorate his room like this.

I want a classroom that is engaging and fun for the students to learn in, and having a fun themed classroom can be a great way to do this.

I can already see how these materials would have my classroom looking like we just stepped off of a helicopter into the African safari!
