My Project

Thank you for your interaction with my project! I will be a first-year teacher in the fall, so I am currently putting together my classroom! There is a lot of setup that goes into a brand-new classroom so I appreciate any help I can get! Some items included in this project are fidget toys, flexible seating options, classroom storage, and even decor to help my room be vibrant and welcoming! I want to give my students as much of a resource-filled classroom as I possibly can so that they are always set up for success in their education!
