My Project

As a first year teacher, my students will benefit greatly from a classroom that has bright and colorful bulletin boards reminding them of their value and their capability. They will be encouraged every day as they read the bulletin boards and educational posters and will know that they have the ability to grow. The goal for my project is to plant seeds of love, encouragement, and excellence in each student. I want them to expand their dreams and know that they can achieve them.

I want my students to desire to be great, influential leaders of the future!

My students are special to me because they are so full of life, love, and wonder! They are curious about the world around them. The way to accomplish my goal is to teach them about such leaders and to equip them with the knowledge and skills to one day become those leaders.

With your help, my students will master math with math manipulatives and games. They will master geography by studying the globe. They will learn accountability for their actions by managing the class behavior chart. They will learn about cleanliness and organization with the storage bins and the desk organizer. The flash drives will store all our learning documents. Learning will not be limited and they will be able to learn from each area of the class with the standing desk podium. Lastly, they will read with confidence daily with the use of our classroom posters and bulletin boards around the class!
