My Project

The expectations placed on students today differ significantly from those of past generations. In my classroom, my students are guided by state standards in reading, math, science, and social studies. However, my ultimate goal is to instill a love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. This belief drives me to create an environment that feels like a second home for my students.

I value the privilege of nurturing this love for learning in my students.

Through fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and celebrating individuality, I aim to help each student discover their optimal way of learning. By transforming our classroom into a cozy sanctuary with soft lighting and lamps, I provide a safe and encouraging space where progress is prioritized over perfection.

Join me in supporting our students on their educational journey by contributing to this initiative today.

Ms. McCurdy
Grades PreK-2
