My Project

Writing, writing, and writing, oh my! Current needs in my classroom is to increase the whiteboard space so that ALL students are able to see the important information on the board. The whiteboard will increase line-of-sight capabilities for all students and will allow others who have a difficult time seeing the board more access. The chalkboard will be used to cover existing doors in the classroom for classroom rules, daily reminders, homework due dates, and more. The birthday book can be read by a student each month encouraging reading and making others feel loved by acknowledging their special day. Lastly, the small containers will be used for holding items and bring a natural element in the classroom while increasing dexterity for some varying learning abilities within the classroom.
