My Project

Last year I moved to a new school and my new classroom is pretty small--nevertheless, my students and I worked with what we had to set up our learning environment. This year I am lucky enough to loop with my amazing students, which means they'll stay with me for 5th grade and we'll get a new influx of 4th graders (our classroom is a split grade)--I already know it's going to be a great year.

For my new students, and the returning 5th graders, I want to create a classroom space that will inspire my students and give us the kind of environment we would want to come to everyday.

With plush pillows and interesting lamps and beautiful garland, I hope to create a cozy woodland theme--the pillows even have plants or animals on them. This classroom is going to be amazing! I can't wait to take pictures and show you. We are going to do such great learning this year!
