My Project

My students are bright, engaged, creative thinkers who thrive in a school space that allows them to think critically, independently, and creatively. This will be my seventh year in the classroom, and my fifth with third grade. I know what my students need to thrive, and this project encompasses those needs.

They need interesting books, tools to help them calm down, fresh markers, sketch books for their art, pencils (so many pencils), whiteboard markers and erasers and so much more!

This project will help us get started with the materials they need to have a great year!
