My Students

I have yet to meet my students for this upcoming school year of 2019-2020! But I know they are going to be creative, kind, and a great part of the classroom community! So in turn I want to create an amazing environment as a first year teacher! In order to do this I need help to provide for my incoming students! My students will be in third grade ESE mixed classroom and I just can’t wait to meet them for the first time!

My Project

Having these items to begin our STEM item collection will be such an amazing start to our classroom. Being at my school Franklin Academy we aren’t given any STEM or extra materials to use during lessons. Because if this I am trying to create small projects to slowly start getting them for my classroom next year. That way my students are able to come into a classroom with amazing opportunities to learn and be creative! It would be such an amazing help to give my students these so they can use them during our STEM time and also any extra structured time!
