My Project

Every day, I have the privilege of guiding a curious, creative, and diverse group of students who are eager to learn and grow. To help support their academic and artistic journeys.

The secret to success is the have students comfortable and engaged in everything they do.

Every classroom needs a variety of engaging chapter books and classroom novels to support literacy development and foster a love for reading. I have incorporated alternative seating and it has been a huge motivator in working hard in the classroom. Flexible seating like reading cushions and bean bag filler create a more inclusive and comfortable learning environment.

Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) Gift Cards allow me to purchase high-quality, standards-based resources and creative materials that cater to the unique needs of my students.

Folders and watercolor paper are helpful for organizing student work and assignments and well as support our art activities and integrate creativity into our curriculum.

These items will enrich the classroom experience and encouraging both academic and personal growth.
