My Project

It's that time of year when I am already thinking about and reflecting on next year's class. I always want to make sure that my up-and-coming students have everything they need to be successful and comfortable in the classroom.

Teachers are always trying to make the beginning of the year smoother and more engaging, to find new ways to plant the seeds for growing a classroom community.

I will be able to update and replace my old and ripped dictionaries. With them, my students will be able to complete their various reading and writing activities. With the canvases and paint sticks my students will be able to integrate more art with math, reading, science, and more. Lastly, the headphones will be available for my students who need them. My students are amazing, and I want to make sure that my classroom is just as amazing for them.
