Our building is very old and has been in need of attention.

The second was the aesthetic it would bring to the space and third the pride the students would feel when in their classroom.\r\n\r\nI also chose a metal cart that was needed to math games that the students could easily access on their own.

From creating interactive displays to presenting research through art, and technology, they took great pride in their work and in sharing what they learned with their classmates as well as the younger grades.
