My Project

Carpe diem! These are the words that greet my students daily as they enter our classroom. Every day, my students rise to the challenge and truly seize the day! I aim to create an environment filled with creativity, educational challenges, happiness, and self-awareness. My students are curious, dedicated, and hard-working. They are an enthusiastic bunch and are eager to do their best! Having the correct supplies will allow them to do so.

Classroom basics are essential.

Calendars, folders, pencils, tape, and various type of paper may be a basic need, but they are so important. All these items are crucial for my students to succeed! The folders, paper and tape will be used during our project based learning. We never have enough pencils, and they are an absolute necessity! Also, we need the calendars to map out our weeks. Please help me attain all the items that my students need to be effective and to soar!
