My Project

My 5th grade students are an absolute blast! They bring an explosion of energy, creativity, and curiosity to our classroom.

Their curiosity is simply contagious.

Their hunger for discovery ignites my passion as an educator and makes our lessons come alive.

But it doesn't stop there—my students are bursting with energy and enthusiasm. They infuse the classroom with an electrifying spirit, turning even the most ordinary tasks into exciting challenges.

And let's talk about their creativity. These kids aren't just thinking outside the box; they're smashing it to pieces! Their imaginative ideas and unique perspectives breathe life into every project and assignment.

But what truly sets them apart is their resilience. These young learners bounce back from setbacks with determination and a growth mindset.

To keep the excitement and success soaring, I hope to equip our 5th grade classrooms with a range of organizational tools. The writing folders will help students move their work through the writing process and keep it all organized. The wash basins will be used to transport student materials in-between classrooms - we choose the basins so that they may be used for many years.

The chair is for Mrs. Kury-Phelan to replace a chair that is decades old and does not provide lumbar support.

The posters are to add ambiance to the classroom space and to provide students useful tools and strategies.

The jellyfish lamps are for our "calm-corners" of each classroom so that students who need to take a minute to refocus are able to do so and get back to work.

With this winning combination of excitement, organization, and student-centered tools, my 5th graders are on a path to extraordinary success. Together, we're creating an electrifying learning environment where curiosity thrives, creativity shines, and resilience reigns supreme.
