My Project

I love for my classroom to feel cozy and inviting to help my students feel more at home. I would love to do this with some additional lighting options. This would allow me to shut off those florescent lights and add some softer lighting when it is needed. Some new books that they are able to relate to would be great for read aloud time. Having books that are about kindergarten is always a favorite. A few new toys to have for play time is always nice!

I have some amazing students in my classroom!

They are each so special in their own loveable ways! Some students could use a hug all the time and while I love to offer hugs that isn't something I can do 24/7. That is where bumpas friends come into play. Those children can wear the bumpas and have the hug like weight on them when they need it.
