My Project

This year I am headed back to 4th grade from Kindergarten. A new year and new grade mean a new classroom!

These materials will help me create a calming learning space for my incoming class.

I will have 50 students who need a peaceful place to learn all year. This group has been through a lot of changes over their school career and needs some calm and consistency.

Bean bags, a carpet, and lights will help give a quiet area to work. The pencils, erasers, and folders will give students materials for work stations.
