My Project

I’m so excited to begin my journey as a first-year first grade teacher! I’m spending the summer preparing for a fun and exciting school year filled with learning, laughter, and discovery. My teaching style is hands-on and student-led, giving kids the freedom to explore and take charge of their own learning. I also use flexible seating to help students feel comfortable, focused, and engaged. Our classroom theme is nature-modern, with calming touches like plants, vines, wood tones, and natural elements to create a peaceful and inspiring space. I can't wait to build a warm, welcoming classroom community where every student feels valued and empowered!
