My Project

Coming back to campus this year has been much easier than last year, yet students still need spaces to feel welcoming and to have everything they need. This project asks for classroom supplies and things students might need but also things to make the classroom a more fun and lively place to be. I am excited to put up some decorations, use supplies to help us make some projects such as tape and notebooks as well as to grow our library of books! I am also incorporating some books that will help me as a teacher become better at teaching with proficiency and culture in mind. I will be using the wobble chair for flexible seating in the classroom so students can choose the seating that makes them most comfortable and supports their learning. I am also using the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card in order to give students access to opportunities such as writings composed by native speakers about special cultural topics.
