My Project

We are so excited to begin another school year! Meeting the basic needs of my students is very important to me. My goal is to do everything I can to make sure that our space is clean, engaging, and full of tools to help students succeed and feel excited to come to school. Having these basic supplies will help my students be fully engaged in logic puzzles, STEM projects, and independent thinking projects this year!

Classroom basics included in this project such as Lysol wipes, a new rug, snacks, and bulletin board paper and borders will create a comfortable environment that get students ready and excited to learn.

I am always interested in filling my classroom with new learning materials that will engage and appropriately challenge my students. These basics will allow my students to engage in deeper learning by taking away the barriers that are sometimes in place. We appreciate your support so much!
