My Project

Our students need a variety of materials for our classroom. Our classroom does not have any musical instruments, and our students would like to make some music in our classroom. The students love to dance, so having the instruments would make it so much better!

We need some STEM materials in our classroom so that our students can express their creativity with building different materials, and having the option to express their selves.

Lastly, we really need some multicultural items in our classroom. We have a variety of different cultures in our classroom, and we would like to include all of our students in the classroom.
