My Project

This will be my first year teaching in a classroom! I will have my own class of precious second graders that I can't wait to meet! I hope to have supplies for the school year for projects we work on throughout the year whether it be arts and crafts for a holiday, final projects for our plants or bat units, or free time that my students can have to just simply be creative in their own way!

I love to have my students work hands-on and with this project, they would have the materials they could use to create items to showcase their learning!
