My Students

I am a first-grade and reading teacher in a wonderful school in Wisconsin. My students are very special, and I just love going to school every day to see the sparkle in their little 5- to 8-year-old eyes. I also get to connect with students of various ages during and after school. I truly have the most special job in the world and treasure every day with my students! My students love to read, pretend, and imagine. They are curious and love to learn! We participate in, and they love so many fun activities throughout the year, and our hope is to add even more. My students are amazing!

My Project

This is going to be a brand new year, with brand new learning needs, and I want to make it a lot of fun for my students! We are so excited! I am requesting Astrobright colored paper, fun colored paper trays, colorful pencil holders, photo boxes for student task boxes, timers, velcro dots, memory cards and more goodies for learning activities.

Decorating and setting up our classroom in a fun and exciting way that engages students is so important and exciting!

This year is going to be great! All of these items will be used for learning because I am going to be creating task boxes for my students with all kinds of fun literacy activities! Students will be able to work at their own level with the fun activities that I create for them using the colored paper, photo boxes, and velcro dots. The storage drawers, paper boxes, pencil holders, and memory sticks will hold all of their learning materials for easy retrieval and use. The mouse will allow student to access their online activities during work time and because it is not coreded, it will be easy to clean. The timers will help us to manage student time on task. Please help us to get these wonderful learning materials for our new classroom! We are so excited to come back to school and have a lot of fun learning together!
