My Project

Greetings! While my students and I are eager to start this school year, they need some items that will ensure they have a fully functional classroom with all the necessary supplies. My amazing students are in need of the basics in order to have a fun, safe, welcoming, and most of all engaging learning environment. These items will help with mathematics, they will have manipulatives to learn multiplication, division, and learning how to tell time. Writing is a major part of the curriculum and it will be essential to have the writing process poster highlighted around the room as a reminder for students as they think and write critically. Furthermore, Many of my students, unfortunately, live in transitional housing and are often moving around until they find permanent placement. Therefore, I am very passionate about creating a home within our classroom. A place that is worry-free, welcoming, clean, safe, and that has the many resources that they need and deserve.
