My Students

I teach my students with all of my passion in order for them to grow into who they are and grow their shining potential. They are the light of the world with wonderfully strong personalities and unique ways to express them. These students need a creative space for them to feel free to express themselves, learn from one another, care for themselves and others.

My Project

These items will be be useful for each one of my students. The decor is needed for the students to have a calming, warm, loving, inviting space. The students will need the calendar for each day, learning the days of the week and the months of the year. Many of these items will be used for interactive centers for students to learn both independently and collectively. With the items above students will learn to write their letters, read sight words, and build sentences. The students will not only learn academically but socially. Students can learn self-control and coping mechanisms with centers such as a calming centers and peaceful minutes with the fidget items. All these items will be a great contribution towards this loving classroom.
