My Project

This will be my first year teaching and with your support I can reach my goal for an inclusive classroom environment.

My goal for this project is to help my students feel comfortable in our learning environment.

I have yet to meet my sweet babies; however, as a class they will get a significant use out of the highlighters during instructional time. We will use the rug daily for mini lessons and morning meetings! I am extremely grateful!

Thank you in advance for helping me with my very first project!
