My Project

My students bring so much curiosity, creativity, and joy into the classroom every day. Watching them grow, take risks, and support each other reminds me why teaching is the most rewarding job in the world. Each item plays a part in creating a more welcoming, organized, and functional classroom environment for my students. The rug will give students a designated space to work cooperatively and play math games. A comfortable desk chair will help me stay focused and organized throughout the day so I can support my students better. The file cabinet, file folders, and mail organizer will keep student work, handouts, and classroom materials sorted and easy to access. The desktop paper tray will help manage daily paperwork, making transitions and routines smoother. Finally, the artificial plants will add a touch of calm and warmth, helping to create a classroom that feels like a safe, happy place to learn. Together, these items will help build a classroom where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn every day.
