My Project

Please help give our first-grade students materials to have a Room Transformation Day. We want to turn all of our classrooms into an Underwater Adventure.

We will have centers full of literacy and math instruction, while also being under the sea-themed.

The students will be so excited to walk into a complete room transformation. We are going to decorate with fish, octopus, whales, sharks, and other sea animals.

After completing our sea animal unit this day will be a fun way to review the material that students have learned.
