My Project

I feel like the School Girl Style rug will bring light and life to my classroom as a first time Elementary teacher. The floor pillows will be a more comfy addition to my classroom library and can give my students a sense of extra comfort if they need during circle time. As a grade level we are focusing on SEL and self management, therefore I wanted to incorporate this SEL story and stuffies to help bring a hands-on experience in my students' learning and recognizing different emotions. Along with that, I would love more cleaning supplies/wipes that'll continue to keep my classroom environment nice, comfy, but also sanitary.

This is my first year teaching Grade 1 and some of these kids I taught in Preschool.

I'm excited to be their teacher again and take part in their growth and success in their education.
