My Project

I love my students’ boundless curiosity, kindness toward one another, and resilience in tackling new challenges. To support their social-emotional growth, the calming corner posters and emotional charts will help them identify and manage feelings, and the soft shaggy rug will create a cozy space for mindfulness and read‑alouds, while the blue light covers will soften our classroom lighting to foster calm focus.

To keep their enthusiasm for learning thriving, colorful expanding file folders and mesh zipper pouches will teach organization and responsibility for their materials; dry erase table spots and removable dots will turn desks into interactive learning stations for math and literacy activities; and hall pass lanyards and ID holders will streamline transitions so we maximize instructional time.

Finally, the reading‑themed, space, and cactus bulletin board sets, along with the Scholastic Active Listening display, will transform our walls into vibrant visual reminders of growth mindset, exploration, and the power of communication. Together, these resources will build a peaceful, engaging, and well‑organized classroom where every student can flourish.
