My Project

I loved working with my students this past year. They were full of so much energy and a great desire to learn.

I'm so excited to continue working with them this coming school year.

However, I need some new workbooks and general classroom resources to continue our hard work and growth.

The workbooks will aid in teaching students test-taking skills as they prepare to begin the Standards Of Learning testing in 3rd grade as well as strengthen their reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. The pencils, sharpener, Expo markers, and dry erase boards are to aid in small group stations and our whole group lessons.
