My Project

I have been teaching for 3 years, and I truly adore my students! They constantly surprise and inspire me, and I love watching them grow into leaders. This coming school year, I will be moving from 2nd-grade to 4th-grade, and my goal is always to create a positive, welcoming, and comforting classroom environment.

This project mainly focuses on flexible seating to support students who need movement while still helping them stay focused and engaged during learning.

The rotating bookshelf will help maximize classroom space and keep our library organized and accessible, encouraging students to read and continue growing into strong readers. The globe will support our science and social studies standards as students learn about maps, regions, and landforms, providing them with a hands-on and visual learning experience. The spinner in this project will be utilized as a classroom management tool to encourage positive behavior, motivation, and student engagement. Lastly, the indoor recess game will give students a fun and engaging option for those days when we have to stay inside.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
