My Project

I am so excited to be starting the new year with my returning students; I look forward to seeing their smiling faces and introducing them to a world of exciting new learning opportunities and materials to aid in academic success in ELA and Math as well as social interaction and development.

My goal is to create an out-of-this-world, child-friendly classroom environment using creative tapestries, welcome and encouraging bulletin boards and door decor, student learning tools, and comfy alternative seating (rugs, bean bags, etc.) to aid student learning success.

I would love for my students to come in on the first day of school and find a classroom full of endless learning potential.

My students and I appreciate your contribution to our classroom this year!

Thank you!
