My Project

I’m starting my very first year of teaching, and I’m building my classroom from the ground up. I’m passionate about creating a space where students feel excited to learn, explore, and grow. My students are full of energy and curiosity, and they thrive when given opportunities to move, collaborate, and engage in hands-on learning. Flexible seating will help them stay focused and comfortable throughout the day, while STEM games will spark critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. These resources will help me create a warm, welcoming classroom where every student can succeed.
