My Project

Hello, I will be a first year teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. I have been working for schools for 10 years but I finally get my own classroom. I’m so excited to make it my own and to give my kids a space that they can be comfortable while they are learning.

We will use the different seating such as the balance boards, cushions, and table so we aren’t stuck in a chair all day.

I want my students to move and be active and have fun while they are learning. I will have chooses for them to sit in and they will be able to sit around the room in these different seats. They will have a space they can go to read and hangout in at our reading corner. Classroom materials so no one has to feel left out because they couldn’t afford those things for themselves.

I cannot wait to meet my kiddos and they get to learn in an awesome environment. Thank you for helping me make a great classroom!
