My Project

As a first year teacher, I'm slowly building up my classroom to where I want it to be. Throughout the year I am finding that it requires a lot more materials than anticipated. I was left with an almost empty classroom and the posters that were left do not benefit the kids in any way.

I'm wanting to have classroom supplies so every child has the tools necessary to participate in class and learn, classroom organization material so my kids can feel structure and organization in their time with me, and inventive rewards so my kids can feel like they are appreciated.
