I teach an energetic and enthusiastic group of scholars. My scholars love exploring and learning new things. I was so amazed when they arrived on the first day and even though some did not know each other they where still engaging each other in the first day activities. I've noticed how my scholars light up when they do a hands-on group project which allows them to feel as though they are leading the assignment.
My Kindergarten, Girl Scouts and Aftercare classes are SHINING STARS.
They continue to amaze me each and everyday. I do not want that drive in them to ever die. I want it to continue well after they leave my class at the end of the school year.
My rockets are shooting pass the moon and as their teacher I am going to make sure they get there..
My Project
All scholars love to have the hottest in style things and with this forever growing society technology is a must. This will help them with the basic knowledge on how to navigate an electronic devise and to learn what they will be using on a daily basis as they grow into adulthood. This will really help them keep up with the daily routines of most classwork being placed on software and Apps.
It will also give them that feel of independence, that they can do it all by themselves no matter their size or age.
It will truly help with their focus and attention, which I believe it will increase their achievement with success. They are in a world of technology and it's a must to have them prepared and excited about learning.
It's very overwhelming to see them shine bright as a diamond as they accomplish things they never thought they could. I know tablets will really help them bloom into amazing flowers.
