My Students

My 3rd grade class is from central Indiana. They are a beautiful mix of cultures from all over the world. Each child has diverse learning goals so it important for me to expose each student to as many learning strategies and modalities as possible.

My students are smart and love to learn.

They learn best in an organized and structured environment. I try to do as many hands on activities as possible to keep my students moving and engaged on the task at hand.

My Project

We are heading into the time in the year which means we will have a lot of rain and possibly some snow. With that in mind my students will be having a lot of indoor recess. I want my students to put down the iPad and have the opportunity to create art.

Free art time will give my students the opportunity for unstructured play and creativity which is lacking in my current classroom during indoor recess.

Felt, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, beads, string, glitter glue and paper bags will help my students with their creative skills. Students will have a choice as to what they want to make with our new supplies and an opportunity for some unstructured play time what does not revolve around technology.
