My Project

My 3rd grade students are full of energy, creativity, and heart. Many come from low-income households and face challenges beyond the classroom, but they show up each day with resilience and a desire to grow. They thrive on movement, collaboration, and having choices in how they learn. Flexible seating gives my more active learners the chance to move while staying focused. Storage solutions help keep our crowded classroom organized, so materials are easy to access and learning time isn’t lost. Dry erase tools make learning more engaging and allow students to practice skills with instant feedback.

My goal is to create a space that supports every kind of learner and allows them to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

What makes my students truly special is their kindness, their determination, and the way they encourage each other to do their best. They deserve a space that reflects how amazing they are!
