My Project

Our school has chosen this years theme to be "Blooming With Curiosity", which describes my PK classroom perfectly. My students come to school, many for the first time, ready to learn with bright ideas and curiosity. They deserve a classroom that reflects how special they are.

Creating a colorful classroom that becomes their second home is always my goal.

A warm, inviting space to help my students feel safe and valued, which is the foundation for engagement and growth. This project will help transform my classroom through new floral & colorful bulletin board boarder and flower cutouts. The updated classroom decor will create an environment that caters perfectly to the new school theme.

Equally important are the literacy tools and visuals. These materials will support the students writing and learning goals. The giant letters will be used to show these students how to actually form the letters, which helps them learn to identify and write them! The chart papers and sentence strips helps us be able to focus on anchor charts to support letter knowledge. With the right tools, my students will become confident in the learning and become more independent.
