My Project

As a new teacher I have very limited start up materials and resources. My project will give my children a place and resources to have what they need to feel comfortable and express their creativity through visual media created by hand. My students are intelligent, full of energy, and excited to learn. The students will be able to represent their learning in visual ways, create models of their research projects, express their individual creativity through writing, painting, and drawing. Students will facilitate collaborative discussions through reporting and presenting their projects.
