My Project

This year has been one of the most rewarding and challenging years I have had! I made a big decision to team teach with my long time teaching partner. This means all 40 of us in one classroom, with both of us teachers helping the group grow and succeed. We are loving it, and can't wait to keep growing as a team.

Now that we know this is going to work, and our students are going to show so much success, we need to make our 2 rooms into 1.

These supplies will help us to streamline our orginization. No matter which space we are working in materials will be color coded for ease of use. The storage boxes will make it easy for students to grab a box and be ready to go with the perfect manipulatives.
