My Project

I love how my students work well in groups and follow classroom rules while having fun together. In Louisiana, rainy days often mean inside recess, and my second graders feel disappointed when they can't play outside. Most of them prefer hands-on activities over watching videos. The card games teach teamwork and how to handle winning and losing.

Coloring books and supplies support creativity and include students who don’t have their own.

These resources will also support PBIS rewards, family game nights, and field day activities, making learning joyful in every setting.
