My Project

Ever walked into a space and instantly felt at ease? Well, that’s how I’d like my students to feel when they enter our room. When your mind is at ease, new information is easier to receive and curiosity sparks.

I love that my Kindergartners will be spending the next 180 days with me and I hope, with your help I can set up the best learning environment to peak their curiosity.

The seats I chose will help students find a comfortable seat when exploring a new book. The two carts will ensure their materials are close to their tables but not weighing down their seat pockets and lastly- The writing center roll will help them try out some new skills and emerge themselves in writing at our writing center. If you can, please help my classroom become even better.
