My Project

I’m going into my second year of teaching, and I’m beyond excited to be teaching my dream grade at my dream school — right in my hometown! Home is where my heart is, and I’m so ready to settle in and pour everything I have into my future students.

What I love most about my students is the energy and joy they bring into the classroom each day.

I’m passionate about building strong relationships, and one of the best ways to do that is through meaningful class meetings — which is why a cozy classroom rug means so much to me. The rolling cart will help me keep materials organized and accessible so students can grab what they need and feel empowered to take ownership of their learning. And my absolute favorite item? Dry erase clipboards! They’re like a 2-in-1 super tool, a whiteboard and a workspace my students can take anywhere in the room. They make movement and flexible learning so much easier!
