My Project

I am getting excited about a new school year! I would like to provide my students with a "Jazzed Up" classroom to get them excited about a new school year.

I would like to provide my students with classroom materials that will enhance my teaching and their learning with these materials.

I am excited to revamp our class meeting area with a new rug. The pocket chart will be useful when doing group work and making visual ELA learning aids. Adding these books and learning games is always nice to refresh as well! I have a surprise in mind for the chalkboard (wink, wink)!
