My Project

My 1st grade students are at the age where they need interactions with each other for emotional and social growth. We spend our days together as a community while learning, trusting, growing, and sharing. Building a foundation for the love of learning and strategies to be the best learner they can be. Life looks different since the years of Covid and it's time for communal space again!

Giving my room a fresh new look and adding some sunshine to the workspace they are required to be all day will help make their space feel comfortable and safe.
