My Students

My students are passionate and inquisitive first and second graders who are excited to be in the classroom. Our school strives to find the superhero in all students. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure or motivation.

My Project

These bookshelves and book bins will be a game-changer in our classroom. The bookshelves will allow the students to see the classroom library books in an unobstructed way. Currently, my students aren't able to use the classroom library due to it being disorganized These bookshelves and book bins will ensure the classroom is accessible to everyone and will help showcase our wonderful library that will in turn encourage independent reading throughout the day of instruction. Organization is a vital part of any classroom. It is my goal to help make my students feel comfortable and to create a love for reading, and by organizing our classroom library my students will feel at home.
