My Project

My students are vibrant, eager, and promising learners who enjoy interacting with one another. They work collaboratively completing hands on learning activities throughout the day. The students always love exploring new topics. The beginning of the year can be stressful for at-risk and low income families trying to get supplies.

I want to ensure we can hit the ground running by providing a safe place with no stress by having basic classroom supplies.

As students complete classroom projects or writing assignments they are able to create a print rich environment with published pieces for their peers to view. This makes learning walks exciting for students to have the opportunity to showcase their work with different learning styles.
