My Project

I love my job as a 7th grade English teacher. I've been in the classroom over 20 years because I believe in their potential to grow, and succeed - not just academically, but as confident, capable individuals. Each resource in this project is selected to support their learning and well-being.

The storage clipboards give my students the freedom to move, collaborate, and work comfortably around the classroom while keeping their materials organized.

The folders and notebooks will be used to take and store notes and for journaling. Mechanical and wooden pencils ensure that students have what they need for writing activities. Paint markers and cable labels will be used for creative projects and Chromebook organization. Some of them are going through many changes from elementary to middle school. That's why I've included sensory and fidget tools to help them manage stress, stay calm, and stay engaged during work time.

These supplies support my goal of increasing student engagement, building independence, and nurturing a positive learning community where every student feels seen and supported.
