My Project

Hello everyone,

My name is Christine Grayson, or as the children call me, Ms. Grayson.

This is my 2nd year teaching. I have decided to embark on a journey to teach 3rd grade this year. I am incredibly excited and nervous at the same time, but I know my class will be the “bees knees” of our school.

I have decided on a more simplistic approach to teaching as I want this next year to be student focused. I believe learning truly begins when students feel safe and loved. Which is why I decided on “bee-ing simple” this year.

The items I have chosen are items I believe will help our classroom as a collective whole. I have items that focused 3rd grade curriculum, our classroom, and the students needs. I really wanted the items I chose to help us as a group to be the best classroom we can be.

I’m really looking forward to “bee-ing the most amazing class I know we can be.” Thank you for your generosity and support for our future. I leave you with this quote - You are the kindling that sparks change through one act of charity. Thank you! 🙏
