My Project

I teach a fantastic group of over 60 fourth graders. Every student brings their unique personality to our classroom, making it vibrant and exciting. Because every student comes from a different background, we share these experiences to create a welcoming environment for all kids.

I am requesting nautical classroom decor for my students.

My goal is to have an inviting classroom. The students will be welcomed aboard Mrs. T's reading ship. Decorations for the classroom serve multiple purposes, including making the learning environment more inviting to students and stimulating their interest in the curriculum.
