My Project

I will be moving to a real Science classroom at the end of this school year. I'm super excited to create a space for students to freely explore the wonders of Science without fearing getting supplies on the carpet or worse not having a sink!

Please help me make my new classroom a welcoming environment where students will feel confident in their surroundings.

Building confidence and trust allows me to do my job as their teacher better. When students feel safe and at home, they are more likely to try new things and work outside of their comfort zones...where real growth happens.

My goals for this project are to create an environment of growth. My students are wonderful kids who often do not have the means to get their own school supplies. The binders will help us be prepared from day one for success. The candy and other items will help create a safe environment so that we can begin building trust and respect from the get go.

Ms. Knapp
Grades 6-8
