My Students

Aloha! My students will be coming back soon to a loving classroom environment based in the heart of Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. This year will be the first year my classroom will be an inclusion room, mixed with an enthusiastic group of students from various backgrounds and learning needs.

After a year of distance and blended learning, I am excited to welcome students back into a positive environment that is equipped with resources for a smooth transition back to in-person learning.

My Project

Materials being requested in this project are a combination of teacher classroom supplies, class book sets, and recess needs. For the first time, my classroom will be an inclusion room mixed with students of various learning needs and reading levels.

The class book sets will help to foster community in our classroom and create important discussion points for the class.

After a year of blended and distance learning students are eager to get back to school and play and learn with their friends. Recess is an important part of the day, which is why rubber bouncy balls are a necessity to encourage physical activity and fun outside.

Having more adults in the classroom means more room for collaboration and organization is needed. Rolling carts in the classroom will help to organize various stations so students are able to work in groups and each teacher can roll the needed supplies over. An extra chair will be helpful for stations and also for our educational assistant who will be coming in to help with students throughout the day.

While students are in school it is important to make them feel engaged and having fun while learning. Mini whiteboard paddles for each student will help create a fun way for students to share out answers and even show their work during math.

Throughout the school year I am constantly utilizing Teachers Pay Teachers because they have the best teacher-made resources for every subject area. I like to purchase project resources, worksheets, graphic organizers, and more!
