My Project

I made this project for my future students during the 2024-2025 school year. I want to make sure my students are set up for success all year long! I decided to start this project now because I know there is a lot of content that is not cheap!

I truly believe these items will motivate my students for a fun school year.

In this project, I have flexible seating that I hope to use for silent reading time. I have found that having a comfy spot to read to yourself gives students the motivation to do so. I also have several supplies such as dry-erase markers, pencils, erasers, markers, etc. If you are familiar with the culture of a classroom, you know these supplies go quickly! I have headphones for testing and other types of learning we do on our electronics.

I am so excited to start the next school year. It will be my second year teaching. It can be hard to keep up with supplies and other items that help students learn and stay motivated to learn. I hope to have these supplies for next school year and start off our journey together right!
