My Project

When my 6th grade students are relaxed and feel comfortable, they are more attentive and perform better. For the last two years, I have brought cushions, bean bag chairs, and a large rug for optional seating. This year, I incorporated using milk crates and adding cushions on top. I also have diffusers in the room for a more relaxing environment. After two years, what I purchased has some wear and tear and need to be replaced. The new items will be a welcomed gift to my students.

We do several art projects in my room and go through constructions paper as quickly as loose leaf paper.

These items will help my students to continue to make beautiful art and do more hands on learning.
