My Project

As an EL resource teacher I push into my student's classrooms in the morning and I pull them out in small groups in the afternoon. During the time in my classroom we work on English language skills as my students are all English Learners. With the various flags from different countries that represent my students they will feel welcome and at home in my classroom.

I want my students to feel like my classroom is a place they can shine bright!

With the sparkle and colored globe lights, my classroom will glow and be a beautiful learning environment. The drop ceiling hooks will allow me to display student work as well as the command hooks on the walls. I can hang the flags across them to display them proudly. I know my students will love these new materials!
