My Project

I'm so excited to be teaching third grade this year! As a first-year teacher, I’m starting from scratch and need everything to set up my classroom. My goal is to create a space that feels welcoming, calming, and most importantly, makes my students feel happy.

By designing a welcoming classroom, I hope to help my students feel valued and foster a sense of belonging.

I want them to see our class as a community where they can rely on each other. With an organized classroom, warm colors, and a few touches that make it feel like home, I’m aiming to create an environment where every student feels comfortable and excited to learn.
