My Project

My classroom is in need of some basic essential items for learning. Studies show that children having school supplies of their own can improve grades, creativity, attitudes toward learning, behavior, peer relationships, and self-image.

These white board tools and math materials will help my students immensely and will set them up to be successful problem solvers.

This school year more than ever students are being taught how to have balance and being with the end in mind. I will be supporting students with scaffolds to allow them to maximize every resource within our classroom environment. I am looking forward to them becoming experts in each subject area so that they will develop skills to utilize as 21st-century learners.
