My Project

Hello everyone! I am super excited to begin this new chapter of my life doing something I’m very passionate about. Next, in advance I just want to say thank you all for the endless support to get me here and now it is time! This will be my first year teaching and I have accepted a third grade position, I’m beyond thrilled!

Here, I have selected two classroom items to my wishlist in hopes of building a wonderful classroom for my students and me!

I believe that providing a rug and different optional seating arrangements allows students to enjoy being in their classroom throughout the day!

Lastly, anything you can do to help support my classroom will be greatly appreciated and needed for the success and growth of my teaching career and for many generations of students who I will have the pleasure to teach in hopes of helping them achieve their goals and aspirations just as you all have with mine. Thank you all so much once again and I am beyond grateful to be given this opportunity!
