My Project

As the school year begins, knowing that each thing has a purpose and a specific place, gives me a refreshing calm feeling as a teacher! An organized classroom that smells delightful, is beneficial not only for students but also for teachers. We have two guinea pig fur babies in our classroom, so the glade plug-ins keep our classroom smelling inviting and fresh. The magnetic pen holders for our new mobile whiteboard, magnetic write and wipe organizers for classroom objectives, new colorful math posters, our paper tray organizer, etc., will help us stay organized and motivated in math and science.

All students benefit from an inclusive, refreshing, colorful, kind, and welcoming learning environment.

In addition, the scratch-offs are a hot ticket item in our treasure box, that keeps students highly motivated. I survey the students, and they decide what prizes are written under each scratch-off.

Effective functionality and engagement from teachers and students in the classroom can be characterized by structure, consistent routines, and organization. I believe the items in this project will help foster a relaxed classroom environment, where everyone can focus and learn. Thank you in advance for considering donating to our project.
