My Project

I have been in the same classroom for the last 5 years. As a teacher who loops with her students, I think it is important to have some updates in the classroom since they will not be relocating to a different one this year.

I want to be able to provide my students with a calm and relaxing classroom library space with shelves that all students can access and Crayola Colors of the World to encourage them to keep being creative.

My students love competing in multiplication facts to have the chance to represent our school in the annual math facts challenge. They love keeping their classroom clean and organized as they recognize that the classroom is our home.
