My Students

My 3rd grade students are excited, enthusiastic learners! They want to achieve and succeed. Nestled at the base of our local mountain, my students are exposed to countless opportunities for learning both inside and outside the classroom.

We are back in the classroom and so excited to be together again, and we need a few things to make our transition to full time in person learning as smooth as possible.

My Project

We've been learning at home for a long time and we are finally returning full time! We want our classroom to be as comfortable, welcoming, and inviting as possible. Through art, music, reading, and flexible seating, we will get back into the groove of being at school.

With a new rug, a wireless speaker, new oil pastels, and a new novel study book, our classroom will help us transition back to being in the classroom full time.

My students left school in the spring of first grade, and are now third graders! This is a big year of learning, and these new items will allow us to relax, feel at ease, and be ready for anything!
