My Project

In our bright and joyful classroom, we believe every child is a unique learner with something special to offer. We focus on building a strong foundation in reading, writing, math, and social skills—all while having fun and growing together. We are working to update the reading nook with bean bag chairs and pillows—honor star students with awards and rewards, and ensure our room is organized.

This year, our class will be working on many different projects.

We are building a classroom full of curiosity, compassion, and creativity!

Through writing, art, and group activities, students will: practice expressing themselves through writing and drawing, learn how to work together respectfully and creatively, and develop confidence in sharing their voice with peers.
