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, decorations, and fidget sensory toys to ensure my students are comfortable and excited to learn each day.

Basic resources for my students, such as new scissors, erasers, a pencil sharpener, and a label maker, will ensure I have the supplies I need to teach to the fullest.

New reading cushions and functional decor to match my classroom, such as tennis ball chair foot covers and step stools for the sink, will create a space that my students look forward to utilizing every day.

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

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