My Project

To help my 3rd grades thrive academically, socially, and creatively, I'm building a classroom that supports every part of their day- from focused literacy time to imaginative recess play.

This project includes high-interest read-aloud books, hands-on materials, and everyday tools that will enrich our learning environment and keep students motivated.

I've selected read-aloud books to build a love of reading, improve vocabulary, and spark meaningful discussions. Clipboards will give students the flexibility to write and work around the room during group projects and independent activities. Headphones will support focused listening for those who benefit from audio reinforcement.

To make recess a time of creativity and critical thinking, I'm including STEM building materials. Rewards and small prizes help reinforce positive behavior, goal setting, and classroom community. These help students feel proud of their progress and five them something to celebrate.

Every item in this project serves a purpose: to create a classroom that is welcoming, well-equipped, and full of opportunities to learn. Thank you for helping us build a space where students feel supported in every way.
