My Project

I am requesting these specific products to make my classroom more inviting. I know that they have a misconceptions of what the classroom is like, and I want students to come into my classroom and feel comfortable. I want to induce interest in the classroom and activities, because we will be working on space throughout the year.

My goals for this project are to create fun and engaging lessons for the students.

I want the students to desire coming to my classroom. I want to break the misconceptions the students have from the past, and have them enjoy being in my classroom.

My students are special because they have been making great strides throughout the past two years. The students have improved in all subjects, by nearly 30%. They are hard working students, and they have the ability to continue making great strides.
