My Project

Wanting to give my students the classroom they deserve. I am a second year teacher and throughout my first year teaching I wasn’t able to provide a lot of materials to my students. I am hoping that this list of supplies that includes a Paper Trimmer and crayons will create not only a safe space in the class where students can calm down and come back to learning with a positive attitude, but also help them learn through different approaches. Being a kindergarten teacher I have noticed that a hands on approach benefits most and I am hoping to continue that through various methods.
