My Project

As my first year of teaching comes to a close, I am thinking of all of the things I will do differently (and better) during my second year of teaching! One thing will be making sure that my classroom is stocked and ready to go with the necessary supplies to help make the 2025-2026 school year even better than the year before!

All of the items were chosen with purpose and love.

Basic supplies, such as pencils, folders, and markers, will ensure that every student is prepared and able to participate fully. Storage and organization tools will help create a calm and focused environment where students can easily find what they need and stay on task. Visuals and learning tools will support all types of learners, especially those who need extra reinforcement or language support. Interactive materials will allow for hands-on learning through small groups and centers, helping students build independence and confidence.

My students are bright, curious, and competitive in the best way. They love to challenge each other and grow together. These materials will give them the structure and support they need to thrive. Thank you for believing in them and helping us start the year strong!
