If you were wondering, the rug is legit HUGE!!!

This week we concluded the first quarter of the school year. We're currently learning about unit rates and percentages, and finally getting into a set routine. As we've settled in, I cannot begin to describe how much I've utilized items from this project. Everything from the daily calendar, to the calm down corner was made possible by you! \r\n\r\nWhen my students first entered our classroom, they were blown away with our upgrade (I taught 5th grade last year, and moved up to 6th grade with the same students). Their favorite are is our calm down corner. The carpet, the string lights, and the inflatable couch made the perfect area for my students to rest and recharge during their day. We've even set up a small art wall for students to display the cool things they draw up. I've set up small private locker for pads and even used the push lights as a sign that the bathroom pass is being utilized. Even as flu season progresses, the Lysol wipe are keeping us safe and healthy. \r\n\r\nThese items set me up for a successful start to the school year. It has allowed my class to put our best foot forward. It has allowed me resources to put my attention to lesson planning and community building.
