My Project

If my project is fully funded, I will have all the materials I need (officially) to make my classroom an emotionally and organizationally safe and clean learning environment! I plan to give my students EACH a place to organize their materials, as well as provide sensory safe items that will help them focus and calm down when they need space to breathe. We all get overwhelmed, even the Littles! Lastly, my students will be learning with me using collaborative anchor charts. Learning how to utilize collaboration and conversation as a whole group, as well as in smaller groups. My students will have the opportunity to participate in a well-functioning and predictable space! Please help my students to have a great first grade year, and to help me have a great first year teaching!
