My Project

All of these materials will be put to use to give my students the best school year possible. I have just graduated from Butler University and this will be my first year as a classroom teacher! I am excited to fill my room with materials that will help my students learn, grow, and thrive. With the laminator, I will be able to display student work and work that we will co-create as a class. Students learn best when they help to create the resources that will guide their learning. When creating classroom agreements, I want students to see their co-creation of these come to life. I will laminate drawings of how these agreements will look in our class. The books will be used to help learn about regulating their emotions. I think these would make for great read alouds. All of these supplies will help me and my students create a safe and welcoming learning community!
