My Project

My students are an extraordinary group of kids. They come to school each day ready and eager to learn. For many of them, school is not just a place to learn, but it also is what many of them would consider a place that feels like home. With all that has been going on in the world, they continue to work hard and give it all they have!

These classroom decorations will be vibrant and inviting to all who step into my 4th grade classroom.

They will welcome each students with eye-catching decor. At the same time, it will help create a friendly environment. We do happen to spend a lot of time in our classroom!

My students are resilient, resourceful, and passionate when it comes to learning.

Even though school looks different than what they are used to, they are trying the very best they can. They are students who are eager to learn and want to be the best version of themselves. All of them have goals of one day going to college, and most importantly, having strong careers! They don't allow the outside influences of their environment to affect their learning and eagerness to learn. They are typical kids, in an area that forces kids to grow up quickly. Most of all, they care about school and come each day eager and willing!
