My Project

I am looking forward to my first year in my own classroom! I have been saving up any items that I could to be able to prepare for my classroom, though I could use some help.

I want my students to have everything they would need to have a successful year in my room.

I am an avid reader and want my students to enjoy reading as well. I would love to do this by letting them have flexible seating in the classroom. I also know that having games for indoor recess is a necessity. iPads or other electronics should not be the focus of students during recess. Instead, they should be spending those moments enjoying playing with their friends.

I also want to make sure that the burden of broken crayons, markers, etc isn’t a constant on my students or their families. I want students to be able to come into the classroom with no worries about how they might finish projects or assignments.
