My Project

These classroom resources will help my students stay focused, creative, and comfortable throughout the day. Markers and journals will encourage self-expression, creativity and writing fluency during both independent work and whole group instruction. Headphones will support concentration and personalized learning, especially during reading activities and digital apps tailored to each student's needs.

We know wiggly kids are learning kids!

Fidgets give students the opportunity to stay focused without the disrupting the flow of the classroom. Cleaning Supplies? They're the secret superheroes! keeping the classroom fresh, tidy, and ready for the joy of 3rd grade. These tools will make all the difference.
