Creating a Successful Classroom Environment

The photos below display my students hard at work. I also spent a great amount of time to create a welcoming environment where students feel safe and comfortable to complete their work and ask all the questions in the world!

Desk view of my first classroom! Students are welcomed with positive words and a neat and colorful environment. Desks arrived soon after this photo was taken and each student had a space to call their own.

4th Grade Math Classroom

This is the view from my desk during my student teaching placement in the spring of 2020. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with this an amazing group of 4th graders!

This was my March 2020 bulletin board. Students worked on a project during their decimal unit and they were displayed at the end of the 4th grade wing!

An up-close image of student work for our 4th grade St. Patrick's Day decimal project. Students colored their own image and calculated both the fraction and decimal value for each color they included in their drawings!

Here is another example of an awesome student project!

My student working hard to classify types of triangles. Students used marshmallows and straws to first create an angle type. They then added a third side to complete the triangle. This lesson was so sticky, but so fun!

Working hard!

These are screen captures of messages my students have sent me through the year. They are truly a special group and I will never forget my first class of students! Building relationships with my students has been as great a priority as the curriculum.
