My Project

I love how curious, creative, and full of joy my students are. They come to school ready to learn, grow, and support one another. Each item in this project is chosen with their needs in mind as we begin the school year 2025-2026 in August. The name tags will help students take ownership of their desks and feel a sense of belonging. The bulletin board borders will brighten our classroom and create an inviting space to celebrate student work. The pencil dispenser, pencils, and erasers will help students stay organized and take care of their materials independently. The dry erase erasers support small group instruction and student engagement during lessons. Lastly, the colorful cubby bins will provide a clear system for organizing supplies so students can easily access what they need to learn and create.

These tools will help build a classroom that is not only functional, but also joyful and welcoming.

This will be a place where all students can thrive.
