My Project

Can you believe it’s been 10 years of teaching?

As I celebrate a decade in the classroom, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey and all the amazing students and families I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

As I prepare for another impactful school year, I’m reaching out for a little help in gathering some classroom essentials.

I’m currently in need of items like wipes, labels, student incentives, a classroom rug, and a teacher chair to help create a clean, organized, and welcoming learning environment.

Wipes – These are essential for maintaining a clean and sanitary space. With little hands touching shared materials all day, disinfecting surfaces regularly helps prevent the spread of germs and keeps our learning environment safe and healthy.

Labels – Having clear labels for student supplies, centers, and classroom materials will help keep our space organized. Labels support students in developing responsibility and independence as they learn where items belong and how to care for our shared space.

Student Incentives – Small rewards like stickers, pencils, erasers, or prize box items go a long way in reinforcing positive behavior and encouraging effort. These incentives help build a classroom culture rooted in encouragement, motivation, and celebration of student growth.

Classroom Rug – A rug would provide a cozy and defined area for our morning meetings, read-alouds, and group discussions. It fosters a sense of community and gives students a comfortable space to gather and engage in shared learning experiences.

Any support—big or small—means the world and goes a long way in making this year a success for my students. Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
