My Project

This fall, I’ll be starting a brand new journey! It is my first year teaching fourth grade at a new school! I want to welcome my students into a classroom that sparks joy, curiosity, and a sense of belonging from the moment they walk in.

To make that happen, I’m working on four key classroom spaces!

A "Sky Is the Limit" motivational wall, a greenery wall to bring nature indoors and to emphasize the importance of our environment, a rotating vocabulary word wall to boost language learning and a warm and inviting welcome board to greet students and families.

The bulletin board borders, durable board paper, double-sided tape, and a staple gun will help me bring these vision boards to life and keep them going strong all year. The tape and staple gun will also be essential tools for putting up anchor charts, student work, and seasonal decor throughout the school year.

Every item will directly support our classroom environment, helping students feel proud, inspired, and engaged in their learning space. If you’re able to give or share this project with others, I’d be so grateful. Thank you for helping me build a space where my students feel like the sky truly is the limit!
