My Project

In my classroom, I am so fortunate to have a group of 30 remarkable students who embody the spirit of curiosity, creativity, and a genuine thirst for knowledge. Each day, they enter our learning space with enthusiasm, eager to embark on new learning adventures, explore their creativity, and dive into the world of literature.

The materials I am requesting promote a learning space of comfort, diversity, and imagination.

There's always a need for hands on project, which is why the art materials I am requesting are incredibly impactful when it comes to encouraging creativity and imagination. Furthermore, I'd love to expand my classroom library with more read alouds, with resources to supplement my instruction. Of course, all this learning and creating will only be successful in a room with different, comfortable seating options.

Basically, my classroom is like a big, colorful canvas of learning, where these 30 amazing students bring all the fun, energy, and curiosity. They're the heart and soul of the space, reminding me every day why I love what I do.

Grades 3-5
