My Project

The next school year will be my 15th year teaching and I'm just as excited for a new school year as I was when I started teaching all those years ago. I'd like to do a refresh in our room with new bulletin boards and borders. The sky background will help brighten up our room which doesn't have any outside windows.

It's important to me that each child has the supplies that they need at the beginning of the school year, whether or not their parents can afford it.

To start off the new school year we could use some basic supplies to get going such as crayons, markers, binders and pencil boxes/pouches. I love seeing their faces when they receive brand new supplies, just like all the other students.

Lastly I would like to try out a "rocker" chair to see if it will help students that need to have movement focus better.

Thank you for considering my project. My students are amazing and deserve to have the best that I can provide for them.
