The year started and the students love the warmth of the classroom, one student even said it felt like home. The light covers create a calming feel to the room by dimming the fluorescent lights. The essential oil diffuser gives the room an inviting smell. Students love picking which oil will go in next. The bulletin boards are levelled up, as the students say. They are perfect for 4th grade and fit the boho theme the room has. And finally the desk is a reward all the students are fighting hard to earn, they all want to earn the chance to sit at the desk.\r\n\r\nThank you for turning my new classroom into a space my students feel at home and ready to learn.
