My Project

The students in my classroom feel "SPECIAL" and "IMPORTANT" when having their own personal notebook. In our class, we use composition notebooks daily for cursive writing, collaborative story writing, daily math problems, and interactive reading and math notebook.

The notebooks help my students with organizational skills by keeping all of their work in one place.

My students also enjoy working together to compose interesting and funny stories, and the easel pads and composition books will help with this.

I like for my students to be comfortable when working on projects, and the cushions will allow them the freedom to work anywhere in the classroom. Comfortable students are more productive than uncomfortable students.
