My Project

When you step inside a classroom, the first thing you notice is its beauty and how much hard work the teacher put into making it beautiful for the students. Classroom community starts with the environment that the teacher creates.

Along with our new reading and writing curriculum, the We Belong Decor Bundle, paper, and border will give my 2nd-grade students a beautiful new classroom filled with pastels, rainbows, and flowers.

I believe classroom decor impacts students and keeps them motivated throughout the year just like I remember as a child. Please help give my students a creative and loving space to learn.
