My Project

I am looking for classroom materials and resources that should be in every classroom. I am going into my first year as a teacher of record in a paid internship at a Title I school for my senior year at Georgia Southern University. With that being said, going into my first year I have limited resources and limited ability to obtain these resources.

I look to have a fun and inviting environment in my classroom.

I want my 6th grade social studies class to be fun and a good introduction for my students who are just stepping into middle school. I will aim to make learning fun and provide my students with the knowledge they need to succeed.

Thank you for helping me with my first of many future years teaching the youth in my area.
