My Project

Last year was a transition year for all of us. Hopefully, we will be going back into the classroom with very few limitations this year. I will continue to keep many of the safety measures in place, which is why I am requesting wipes to sanitize after each class.

I like to think of my classroom as a safe place for my students.

They know that they have a place to come when they are hungry, which is why I am requesting snacks again this year. They came in very handy last year when my students or any other student needed a pick me up to get through the rest of the day. The requested materials will help us stay safe while keeping their bellies full at the same time.
