My Project

I’m so excited to begin my first year teaching first grade in Virginia! As I set up my classroom from scratch, I’m hoping to create a warm, welcoming space where my students can thrive. If you’d like to support my classroom, I’m looking for basic items like pencils, glue, paints, paper, headsets, markers, books, art supplies, sanitation supplies, sanitizer, tissues, snacks and cozy seating. Every little bit helps bring joy, learning and adventure to my new first grade classroom.

Thank you in advance for being part of my new classroom journey.
