My Project

Hi! I am a new teacher who relocated from the east coast to sunny California during the pandemic. Teaching has always been something that has meant a great deal to me. After taking some time off, I am super eager to get back into the classroom and get back to my passion for teaching. Each and every item in my cart including book bins along with an activity center will help me build my classroom up from scratch for the upcoming 22-23 school year. Please help me turn my classroom into a second home for my beautiful students.
