My Project

Teaching is a rewarding profession ,and one I am proud to be a part of everyday. However, sometimes when your classroom is lacking the basic necessities, it takes away instruction time. I firmly believe that every second counts!

The needs of each student in their classroom must be met in order to maximize their learning time!

So this year, I want to make sure that each student is equipped for day one with all the basics. Pencils, markers, and crayons are just the beginning of what it takes to run a high functioning classroom, but is essential in the developing phases.

Thank you for your interest in my student's educational journey!
