(The pin it says "One Teacher can shape a child, One child can shape the world." I chose this object because we are all going to be educators, To me it is a reminder that children have so much power and ambition.

I have chosen this book because it's about a little girl who becomes so overwhelmed and frustrated that she lashes out and then runs away from the situation outside. Outside, she grounds herself by looking at the things around her and listening to the ocean and when she calms down and returns home, her family is there waiting for her, happy to see her. In my classroom I would like to incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques for intense situations. Also, like the family at the end, I would like to cultivate a space of safety and acceptance that would allow children to be able to feel and have emotions without fear of repurcussion. And ultimately, I would also like to help children understand their emotions and foster the ability to channel and handle those emotions without the need for lashing out in other ways.

My grandmother has always been an influential person in my life. One day she came home with these three women figurines, one for my sister, one for her, and one for me. She is one of the most important people in my life, and everything I do is in honor of her.

I chose this mug that I got for Halloween. It says "She believed she could change the world so she became a teacher". This mug is just a good reminder as to the reason i wanted to become a teacher in the first place and how much of an impact i want to make as well. I also love coffee in the mornings so just seeing this mug and reading what it says every morning sets me in a positive mindset for the rest of the day.

I chose to take a picture of my planner for 2 reasons. One I personally draw a connection of teaching/school to a note book and pen so seeing this makes me think of school in a general sense. But I also chose this because more as of recent planning and having a set schedule has been important to me and I think that it would be a valuable skill to teach my students to help them in their future endeavors.

I selected a paint brush to represent my teaching philosophy. The paint brush is a reminder that I am the artist that is taking the time to shape young minds. I know that each stroke I make will influence how a student learns. I need to remember that I do not want to entirely change their individuality therefore I need to approach each student carefully and differently.

This is a picture of a Buzz Lightyear toy that I have in my room. Every time I see this toy I remember my favorite activity I did in my 1st grade class. My teacher had a class Buzz toy and a matching embroidered journal. Every weekend a new student got to take Buzz home and write in the journal about their weekend adventures. The next monday we would have the student read their entry. I vividly remember that to this day and how much fun it was. This shows one of my objectives of teaching, to create meaningful connections and memories with each of your classes. In the future, I know I will definitely have a Buzz Lightyear watching over me in my class! :)

I'd love to have some plants in my classroom because they require patience but yield beautiful results if they are given what they need to grow, much like children. It can not only be a reminder to myself to be patient but to encourage my students to practice patience with themselves too.

I would love to have this lamp at my desk (even though I may have enough light in my classroom already) I would to have this lamp in my desk because it represents my students. Symbolically I see all students as stars. They shine as bright as they can. The lamp only lights up when you pull the handle that is only the only time you will see the light beam out of the stars. Just like my students they will shine as bright as the light from the lamp but will be superstars in my classroom and i'll be there support as if I was pulling their handle, to glow.

An object that represents my teaching would be this photo of yarn. I've been knitting and crocheting since I was 9, My mom taught me how to crochet tablecloths and I learned how to knit different stitches. This hobby helps hand eye coordination as well as fine motor skills. It shows patience, commitment and if you don't like how it looks or want to try something new it is easy to unravel and try something new.

This saying to me is special. It speaks for itself, be yourself and stay true to yourself. Everyone is different and that is okay. Everyone should be accepted no matter how different you are. This saying is something I want to instill in my students. Be yourself, and be proud!

I chose this ball because it can mean many different things. But to me it meant that a student has no ends, they are always evolving and learning. With this said, it also helps me remember how each kid is different in not only their outside but their inside. Every student comes in different sizes and shapes and it is important to remember that.

I chose my desk organizer full of all of basic craft supplies and bullet journal pens because it reminds me to be creative when it comes to teaching. There are always innovative ways to teach and I do not want to fall into a rut of teaching the same way to every student. It also reminds me to do the things I love, like bullet journaling and more importantly like teaching.

I chose these pieces for my classroom because my true passion that lead me to teaching was baseball. I played all through high school and that is also when I began coaching my younger brother's little league team. I want to be able to look at the pieces and remember how I felt learning new things and becoming better at something I love. I hope to bring those passions into the classroom and bring that excitement out in my students.

I picked this quote because it is very inspiring to me. I think that if a teacher truly loves what they do and wants to help their students, the students will reciprocate the same energy and be genuinely excited and ready to learn.

This is a simple quote that I want to put up in my future classroom. My mom teaches third grade and has this up in her classroom and is something I want to follow in the future. Being able to enjoy the little things about life is something I want to teach my students and make prevalent. If someone learns a new word, we finished a simple story, or everyone was silent in the lunch line it is all about the little things. You don't allows have to celebrate for something big, you can with smalls things that happen in your life. I hope to inspire kids in the future and set a good example!

I love cute little things around my workspace and with my students. These types of things I've found make students and just kiddos in general smile. Sticky tabs, stickers, little magnet prizes, and other such things make for a fun environment in class, as well as encouragement at times (bookmarks for reading, magnets for whiteboard activities, etc.) I love making my students feel comfortable, happy, and excited. It is something silly, of course, but positive behavioral supports are always beneficial, and usually pretty unique to each teacher!

I would have this globe as well as other globes and maps in my classroom. I feel as though it represents me because I love to travel and see new countries. I hope that by the time I am in a classroom of my own I will have visited lots of countries. I think that it has a dual purpose though and will remind my students that everyone has different experiences, cultures, and traditions. I hope that I can teach them about cultures I have seen in my travels as well as allow them to teach me about their cultures or cultures they have seen in their travels.

This is one of my painting palettes. I would place this in my classroom to remind myself of my beliefs about teaching because for me it represents the importance of creativity. As a teacher I aim to inspire students to embrace their imaginations and creativity. I want students to gain the confidence to express themselves and believe in themselves. Creativity also helps with other skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Art is something that makes me happy but also something that influences many of my ideas and approaches.

In my classroom I want students to be able to express themselves creatively. Having funky and fun themed items within the room is one way to help get those creative juice's flowing. Students who think creatively often have an easier time learning. This teacher stool is a great example of this.

In my future classroom i want my students to know that they truly do matter. I want them to feel as though they have a purpose and are safe when they are in my classroom. Therefore i plan to have a saying, portrait or something of the sort that represents that message. This message is important to me as i wanted to become a teacher so that i can help others!

In my classroom I want students to grow and "bloom" to be the best student and person that they can be. Grace is an important tool that will be used in my classroom to help children succeed.

One of the things that I would have in my classroom is this sign that says "Be You Nique." I think it is really important for each student to take pride in whoever they are, know that they are loved, and know that they are worthy no matter what. I want my students to know that they belong in my classroom and that it is a safe environment for them to be who they are.

One of the things that I would have in my classroom, would be colorful objects, that represent the school environment. I believe that simple objects with bright colors, have a positive effect on mood and energy. Many of my classrooms in elementary, were boring, and the class felt uninteresting. Making the classroom colorful, will bring more enthusiasm, and energy, to the students. I would have a balance of these colors to prevent distracting the students.

I would have a globe in my classroom. I really want to teach children about various countries, cultures, people, etc. I believe that the more they know about the world the better. Even if students have never traveled they should be exposed to different cultures and traditions and have knowledge about countries other than the one they live in. Spinning a globe and seeing where your finger lands never seems to get old and can be turned into a great educational activity.

One of the thing that I would have in my classroom is a colorful map of the United States. It is very colorful plus it is small like a placemat. it is very easy  for them to hold. Plus it represent a classroom and kids love to learn their colorful map.  Especially when there is an incentive for them when they got it right.

I would love to fill my classroom with pots and plants. This is a little play corner for my kids in our living room. I chose this object because my teaching would involve lots of "growing" in the classroom and I think it would be great for students to grow alongside our classroom plants. We can also learn a lot about them scientifically and they can be responsible for watering them and caring for them as well.
