My Project

My incoming third grade students deserve to come into a classroom that is safe, inviting, and beautiful. I plan to use these materials to help welcome my incoming third graders in September.

My classroom will be a safe space for students to actively engage in their environment.

I work in a Title I school and most of the population of students are from low-income families. I want my classroom to be a placed that my students can not wait to be in and a place they never want to leave.

My students mean the world to me and I want to be able to share a beautiful space with them for the next school year.
