My Students

My students are compassionate, funny, hard-working, and, above all, resilient. These kids have taken this challenging time that we are all facing and have met it with the most amazing attitudes. When they walk in the classroom each morning, they are ready to get to work and learn alongside their peers.

My Project

My students' day begins long before they enter my classroom each day. While I can't control what happens before the school bell rings, I do have control over how my students feel while they are in my room. By starting our day with a Soft Start, this allows my students a chance to start get themselves focused and prepared for the day.

With the materials included in this project I will be able to create an environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, inclusion, and true friendship.

During our Soft Start, my students will use the materials in this project to get their brain ready for their day.
