My Project

All of our students want to learn and have fun in school. My class has no interactive gadgets or I pads. Having these items will provide the opportunity for the kids to play in the classroom comfortably, with their peers. This will help the students build a strong relationship with each other. All of these items have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few months of school, and I have seen the need for these items in the classroom. Each student will be able to choose the way they want to unwind and relax. Making sure students are comfortable is an important part in motivating them. I can see the difference in my students when they are given a choice in how they spend their free time. The students are given choices and this will lessen the behaviors because they are independently engaged in their activity of choice.
