My Project

I'm excited to start my 4th year teaching 3rd grade and have created a wishlist of items to stock our classroom. This year my class will have a larger population of students who are learning English, so I would like to add more culturally relevant books to our class library. I've also added some social-emotional tools to help students regulate big feelings from fidgets to a sand timer. Another item I've included is a laminator that I plan to share with my grade team since we are always laminating things for our classrooms. I hope that these items help build a classroom that is more inclusive and joyful!
