My Project

My biggest goal as a teacher is to make sure my classroom is a calm, loving, and a fun space for students to learn. As a 3rd year teacher, I am still slowly building my dream classroom.

Flexible seating is something I want to accomplish this year.

I have the floor cushions and lamp stands on my list that will help me accomplish this goal of more flexible seating for students. I also have added a new weighted stuffed animal, organizational book binder holders and pocket charts for students.

Although the new year has not started yet, I like to be prepared and know I can provide a fun and safe space for my students.

Grades 3-5
