My Project

My third-grade students are the most wonderful and caring in the world. Each day they walk into my classroom eager and excited to learn something new. They are very inquisitive, highly motivated, and hardworking.

As a teacher, I strive daily to provide my students with numerous meaningful, engaging learning activities to make learning exciting and compelling regardless of their learning styles or disabilities.

I am requesting incentives to motivate my students for state testing at the end of April. I would love to do a space theme party to pump them up to try their best and work hard during testing week. I am requesting space theme drawstring bags. I plan on filling these bags with goodies that students can take home. I will also use the astronaut/rocketship backdrop so students can take pictures with their classmates. Students will also choose a pair of cool glasses to use in the photo booth. I will give them each an outer space stackable pencil to let them use during test prep week to complete their work. Please consider making this project a reality and help my students to learn to believe in themselves and that each one of them can accomplish any task they put the time and effort into this school year.
