My Project

I teach the most wonderful students. They come from a wide array of cultures and speak many languages. Some of my students are in learning support, autistic support, and emotional support. We have been actively working on learning about our differences and making sure we have a welcoming environment so everyone feels safe and comfortable.

We are currently learning about the environment and because it is the end of the year, we want to have a recycling party!

These supplies like candy, cookies and drinks will help us celebrate recycling while reading about it and labeling our classroom trashcans.
