My Project

As a first year teacher I am learning as I go what I need in the classroom. These supplies will allow me to continue making the classroom a space that is engaging and will provide my students with a structured room that allows them to grow and learn best. I am hoping to create new spaces within our classroom that show my students different spaces are for different types of learning. I am also working to laminate as much of the items I print out as I can so they can be reused for future years.
