My Project

Children spend over 30 hours a week at school. It's like a second home and, for many, it is the most stable thing in their lives. I want to create the perfect classroom for my kindergarten students, one that is safe, warm, and nurturing.

Research has shown that a neutral and muted color palette creates a calm space for students to thrive.

My goal is to create this type of classroom in order to optimize student growth, both academically and emotionally. This project is just a portion of my overall vision, and includes the materials I will need to create hand-made alphabet cards, number lines, desk name plates, labels for center bins and cubbies, etc.

Thank you for helping give my students the classroom they deserve!
