My Project

My wonderful students are motivated and ready to learn! As I teach at my school's summer program, I've already heard countless comments from students about what they're looking forward to doing when school starts again, what projects they want to explore, and what new activities they're going to try.

This year, my students will explore and share new stories through the beauty of our classroom library, build community through painting murals together after school, and feel the joy and fresh start that a new school year can bring.

These back-to-school basics— paints and art supplies, motivational stickers, and organizational and book displays— will help me give my fantastic students a fantastic start to their school year.
