My Project

This is my 17th year teaching at a Title I school. I love my students and want to see them succeed in school and in life.

I'm always looking for ways to get my Kindergarteners excited about learning, which is why I need a variety of prizes and fidget toys to add to my treasure box.

I want to be able to reward my students for working hard and trying their best in class. This includes passing different lessons on their computers and showing positive behavior. I also want to include some of these fidget toys and stress noodles in my calming corner in case a student may need a moment to de-stress from a situation.
