My Project

My goal as an educator is to make each student's learning experience meaningful and exciting. While I've been doing that in the classroom, I realized that I need more materials in order to push them to grow.

It is my goal to use these materials to aide in the growth of my students so that they'll be ready for third grade by the end of this school year.

Students will benefit from each of the items on this list! For example, the writing tablets (and dry erase boards/markers) will be used interchangeably for Reading and Math. The headphones will allow student to work independently on their chromebooks without being the distracted by their peers chromebooks! The cushions will enable students to comfortably work around the room. The bins will help keep materials organized and ready to use.

Again, it is my goal to use these materials to give students the extra push they need to grow!
