My Project

I am so excited for the new school year. I love my students. They are so special to me. Teaching is my superpower. I teach a variety of students, including gifted students as well as students with disabilities. One thing that my students all have in common is that they are hard on our classroom.

I need to replace classroom basics to keep the classroom running smoothly.

I am requesting some storage solutions such as an over-the-door shoe holder to serve as a water hydration station, an EXPO marker holder for the whiteboard with erasers, and crayon storage for each student. We are also going to use colored tape to organize the computer cart and a large dry-erase calendar so students can see what skills and activities are coming up. I know these students will love these new classroom basics.
