My Project

Hello! I am currently a third grade teacher. I have realized since being in school that my students aren’t always able to communicate their needs and feelings. When they get mad they lash out at others. I am hoping to create an environment in which my students learn healthy ways to express themselves.

Every child deserves to have thier voice heard.

It is important for me to provide them with a space in which they learn to listen to thier voice and how to express it in a healthy way.
