My Project

Next year, I have the incredible opportunity to loop up with my students—and I couldn’t be more excited! We’ll be moving into a brand-new classroom, and right now…it’s a blank slate.

My goal?

To transform it into a warm, welcoming, and super fun space that surprises and delights my students from the moment they walk in. I want them to feel like this room is their second home—a place where they’re excited to come every day, ready to learn, grow, and be themselves. These items such as chairs and tables will help them do so.

Let the transformation begin!
