My Project

I teach some of the best students in the world! My school kids told me that my classroom needed something. They said it felt kind of blah. They think that we need to jazz up our space, so... I asked them to help me pick out some items that would make this space feel comfortable! They have helped me me create this list of items to put up and around our classroom. I love that they are invested in this and wanted to put forth the time and effort to choose items that would make this classroom a comfortable learning environment.
