My Project

My students are bright, creative, and full of potential. They come to school eager to learn and grow, even when faced with challenges outside the classroom. What I love most about them is their resilience and the way they light up when they feel supported and seen. Each item in this project has a purpose. Whiteboards and markers will help them show their thinking during lessons while binders, pencils, and erasers will keep them organized and ready to learn. Colored pencils and laminating sheets will help us create interactive, lasting materials. Easel pads allow us to brainstorm and collaborate during group work. Bean bags will create a calm-down space for students who need a break to self-regulate, and Febreze helps us keep our shared classroom clean and welcoming. Every resource will help my students feel cared for and ready to succeed every day.
