My Project

I have jumped back into a General Education Classroom. Due to a teacher leaving our school unexpectedly, I am going back into the classroom. Unfortunately when that teacher left she took some items that the students need. With your help I am going to create an inviting learning space for my new students. The reading and math posters will be spread out the room to encourage the students to work the best of their ability. The Kindergarten school supplies is much needed to ensure my students have the proper tools to grow and learn.
