My Students

My students are an amazing group of students who are always willing to work hard in and out of the classroom. They come to school prepared to learn, not just the academic curriculum, but also about being productive citizens in our community.

My school holds great importance in both academics and developing a well-rounded child, with great emphasis on behavior.

This allows each child to feel respected in their classroom and school community, which in turn will create wonderful learning experiences!

My Project

My classroom is in need of organizational and storage bins. A rolling cart will allow the supplies to be used throughout the classroom. The classroom library bins need replacement and an anchor chart stand would store many charts that are used during the day. Zipper pouches would be a great way to send books and supplies home.

Cushions would be an amazing way to use flexible seating in the classroom.

My students enjoy moving throughout the day and these cushions would give them the opportunity to move around and find a different learning space.
