My 32 positive, humble third graders are so loving and even easier to love! They always come to school ready to work hard and overcome any challenges the day brings. Their joy brings me joy, and they will be so appreciative of all the new supplies to support their learning!
My scholars LOVE to read, so I know they will be thrilled to see a comfy reading corner with a carpet, pillows, and brand new books this year!
It is my fifth year teaching, and I can't wait for another year of growth and achievement. We have so much to look forward to!
I know my scholars are bursting with curiosity and enthusiasm, ready to hit the ground running and start learning! They are going to love the multiplication tools, board games, and materials to support social-emotional learning. I can’t wait to see the look on my scholars’ faces when they come back to school to find all of the new supplies! I know that the various incentives, like scented markers, stickers, and Harvard gear (our homeroom), will certainly get kids excited for a new school year!
