My Project

My aim is to create a cheerful environment through colorful, fun, and bright decorations, cozy spots to learn, and hands-on activities for all subjects!

I am a first year teacher and would love to set up a classroom with new supplies and decorations to ensure my students are comfortable and excited to learn each day.

Basic resources for myself and my students, such as a laminator, new scissors, and candy for a prize box will ensure I have the supplies I need to teach to the fullest.

A new rug, decor to match my classroom, and cushions for rest and reading time will create a space that my students look forward to utilizing every day.

Math and reading manipulatives will aid the whole class is engaging in hands-on activities for word-building, strengthening phonemic awareness, and learning math through small-group games.

I know my students and myself will enjoy these supplies, and utilize them to the fullest!
