My Project

I love how eager and energetic my students are to learn, even when faced with challenges. They bring unique strengths to the classroom daily, and seeing their growth is a joy. The requested resources will help create a more organized and engaging learning environment.

Kleenex and sanitizer will keep our space clean and healthy, allowing my students to focus on their work without disruptions from colds or messes.

The mini brooms, dustpans, and carpet sweeper will help maintain a tidy classroom, teaching responsibility and encouraging teamwork as they clean up together. The parts of speech posters will serve as valuable visual aids that reinforce grammar lessons and help my students better understand language concepts, fostering their writing and communication skills. With these tools, my students will have the clean, supportive, and engaging environment they need to succeed.
