My Project

I am committed to equipping my students with the essential tools they need to become successful, lifelong learners. My goal is to integrate valuable resources into our classroom, fostering both their life skills and a passion for reading. By introducing a collection of engaging SEL books and audiobook supplies, I aim to provide my students with independent access to a diverse range of materials, including picture books, audiobooks, and chapter books, all designed to cultivate their love for reading.

I envision creating a warm and organized space in our classroom that features calming and self-regulating tools, allowing students to find comfort and focus.

I need chair fuzzy feet to stop the distracting noises of chairs being moved constantly.

Life skills are crucial for our students' development. With these resources, they will learn to use our classroom as a dynamic environment for learning, practicing, and applying essential skills. I want to empower my students to navigate their emotions, explore emerging technologies for listening to literature, and maintain a clean, safe, and soothing classroom atmosphere.
