My Project

My students are special because they want to succeed and truly care about their success. They all bring their unique talents to the classroom and we learn so much from each other every day. With this supplies, I can continue to reward an acknowledge my students who display model behavior in the classroom each day. It is important to me that they know their behavior is noticed and they feel they are seen. I also will use the other supplies in this project to continue to print resources for my students and ensure our classroom runs smoothly with everything that it possibly needs!
