Out With the Old, In With the New!!!

Help me give my students a classroom make-over! I've had the same "owl" classroom decor for longer than I've realized. It is definitely time for a change when former students come by and comment on remembering those owls.

My Project

My 4th grade students work hard each and every year and I feel that they deserve an updated classroom that is more colorful and vibrant as before!!!

My goal is to have a complete classroom makeover decorated in bright and colorful polka dots decor.

I will be chunking old and bulky furniture and replacing them with more modern and light pieces.

The new classroom will make students feel more prideful in knowing that they're learning in the best teaching environment. I know that they will absolutely love it when they walk through the door!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
