My Project

I teach the sweetest little first graders in a Title I School. I want to make sure I provide the safest, most enjoyable classroom environment for my students.

Student engagement is the key to igniting and fueling a passion for learning.

Room transformations help our students engage in our curriculum and have fun while learning. From backdrops to decorations, it is the small changes in their learning environment that bring the excitement of school and learning to life.

This rock star classroom transformation is very unique! In order to escape the rock concert, students will solve academic challenges around the room. This real-world activity aligns with multiple common core math standards.
