My Project

I am starting a new position teaching elementary enrichment. I am so excited to meet my students and start 2024 off right.

I would love a printer to print out brainteasers, critical thinking activities, and math games to engage my students.

My students will need markers, crayons, and glue for our project based learning units. We will study careers, and the students will participate in a showcase of their hard work. They will need art supplies and paper to make the project displays look presentable and show their creativity.
