My Project

When you take a peek at my classroom you will see eager faces, ready to learn.

You will see students who enjoy sharing laughter with their peers, putting their problem-solving skills to use with STEAM activities, creating artwork, and playing with their friends.

My students love to use their imaginations to create. I am asking for a class set of paint your own banks to go along with our money unit. These banks give students a chance to express their creativity and showcase things that they like. I am also asking for blue buttons for our snowflake ornaments and multi-colored pens for when we create our own journals.

Thank you for making a difference in our learning.
