My Project

This is my first year in the classroom coming from a paraprofessional position. I am excited to be able to start the journey on helping middle school age kids with strengthening their reading and language arts confidence. This is also the first year of this school moving from intermediate to middle school. We are wanting to ensure all needs of our new students are met with fidgets, books, and different flexible seating options like a carpet, beanbag chairs, and chair bands. Thank for taking the time to look at all the items we are hoping to have ready and available for our students.
