My Project

As Semester 1 has ended, I have noticed some items that would add to my students' classroom experience to be successful during Semester 2. During Semester 2 they prepare heavily for state testing and as a Level 5 school in East Nashville, my intention is to refresh our space with new supplies and decor so they can begin the new semester and new year of 2025 in a refreshing space. My hope is that having these tools available they are more prepared for each lesson and enjoy the space of Math class. Soft lights and seating space to enhance focus and incentivize students to work harder and challenge themselves to earn comfy seating and sweet treats. Additionally have supplies like writing tools, notebooks, and folders to keep them organized and prepared at all times. Not all families can replenish school supplies during the year and this would allow for their stress to be eliminated.
