Transforming Our Classroom

Help me give my students a classroom transformation and celebrate the leaders in our class. Every week we celebrate one student who has been a role model. A special VIP desk, chair, and other supplies boost student buy-in.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Every week we celebrate the student who has demonstrated leadership skills. I would like to give this student a VIP experience. Providing a special desk, chair, and other unique classroom supplies to be used only by "the leader" will entice other students to step up their behavior.

My students continue to rise to the challenges of third grade and I want to celebrate them all!

As we approach the testing season, I would like to transform my classroom into the "Glow Room". This will be a place we can celebrate all we have learned while doing our test prep.

Other items requested would just improve our classroom overall. Thank you for taking the time to read about our class.
