My Project

I am a special education teacher just transitioning to my first year in 5th Grade general education. Getting to design a learning space for my students is such a treasure.

Students love having a colorful place to learn.

These book bins in pastel colors will be so welcoming. The stools will sit around my small group table for students to join together and read. The book bins and magazine bins will help me organize all of the amazing books that I will put in my new classroom. I am so excited to meet my new group of students.

Thank you for helping me fill the learning space with joy.
