My Project

For my project, I want to create a classroom that reflects how special, curious, and hardworking my third graders are. I love watching my students grow in confidence, become more independent, and discover new things each day. They bring so much energy and personality into our classroom, and I want their learning environment to feel just as welcoming and exciting.

The new rug will give us a comfortable space for whole-group lessons, read-alouds, class discussions, and collaborative learning.

The folders will help students stay organized and take ownership of their assignments and important work while building responsibility and independence. The classroom décor will help create a cheerful, inviting space where students feel comfortable, motivated, and proud of their classroom.

Each of these resources will help make our classroom more functional, organized, and engaging. Most importantly, they will help me create a space where my students feel valued and excited to come to school ready to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
