My Project

My students' social, emotional, and mental health always come first. In my classroom, I welcome my students at the door with a hug and a big smile on my face. Our classroom is their safe place filled with books and love. With my project, I hope to promote the SEL curriculum to teach my students about important qualities: respect, friendship, resilience, gratitude, empathy, optimism, kindness, and honesty. In addition, I plan to make a calm corner with sensory toys, fidgets, and guided breathing tools.

As CSDE shifts to Science of Reading research, I am excited to adapt our curriculum.

The research-based materials and manipulatives will further my students' learning and make literacy fun. The TPT gift cards will also help me to purchase non-fiction and fiction decodable books for my new readers.

My students' love for learning is evident the moment you step into our classroom. They are excited for every step of our day--no matter the subject. I hope to give them more books to read, manipulatives to use, and prizes to win when they reach their goals. The items listed will help our classroom run smoothly and give students exciting manipulatives to use throughout the day.

My students deserve the world! Overall, our class is diverse, multilingual, and hardworking. As their first-grade teacher, I want to make the year memorable and send them to second grade at their highest potential. Thank you for your consideration to help my students!
