My Project

My students want to come to school knowing anything they could need will be provided. I want my classroom to be stocked with pencils, pens, feminine hygiene products, art supplies, bandaids and organization materials so that learning does not have to be interrupted when these materials are needed.

Students are happy to be back in the classroom after the virtual years and because of that I'm trying to implement more creative group projects.

Having good markers for group posters will really make a difference during class, and will help bring my classroom walls to life.
