My Students

I have yet to meet this years students but I am sure like most students, my students are amazing fun-sized human beings! They are so curious about the world around them! They have this genuine desire to learn and have been growing more and more each day as students. They truly have a love for school and are excited to be in our space each day.

My students are creative, imaginative, fun-loving, and a joy to teach.

I consider myself lucky to call them my students. My students bring all of their world experiences into our space and teach me a thing or two every day.

My Project

These blocks and materials will allow me to organize the room and make it a space all learners feel welcome. I will be moving classrooms this year so I need a lot of organizational tools as well as instructional materials to make this the best year ever for my little learners. Mostly, I am asking for products to help hang up materials and decorate the room. Beyond that, I took a list of materials this past year that I could have used and added them to the list. I wanted cardstock because I want to laminate materials that will last. I need better portfolio materials to keep my students’ work from the year organized.

These materials are all things that will help to make this school year a truly special one for my students.

I cannot wait to start setting up my classroom with your help!

2019-2020 is going to be the best year ever! Help my students to feel that way as well, they deserve it!
