My Project

As an (almost) fourth-year teacher, I am finally getting the curriculum under my belt. Now I am working on making my classroom a welcoming, exciting environment! My students thrive on organization and routine. Each day we have "Carpet Time," but we have no carpet to go to. We have bulletin boards decorated with plain white butcher paper.

My goal is to make my classroom a space where the kids are excited to come and learn each day.

The storage options will allow for easy access to items and allow students to get what they need with ease.

My students will be so happy to see a new classroom rug, so we can give a true meaning to "Carpet Time!" I can decorate our bulletin boards and organize our materials so they're easily accessible to my students.
