Mrs. Aragon from Gunnison UT is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Break Into Learning

My students need various locks, lock boxes, magic pens and other materials to "unlock" their highest potential in learning.

My Students

I teach a class of 4th grade students that come from a diverse economic background. We are in a rural area where farming and agriculture are a big part of these children's lives. I have a mixture of regular education, English language learners and some with learning disabilities.

I want to unlock their curiosity and drive to continuously learn.

I am a teacher that creates an atmosphere that inspires our young learners to want to succeed. I'm a teacher that brings fun into their academics. I make a classroom where I also want to be the learner. In my room we are all learners and teachers.

My Project

As my students are unlocking each of their boxes they will be pushed to learn with each other. Each box or pouch will have activities that are aligned to Utah State Standards. My students will learn how to collaborate with each other to successfully unlock the next set of questions. Not only will they strengthen their academics; they will also enhance their teamwork capabilities. Through teamwork all students are able to succeed and learn from each other. Students that are able to successfully work as a team will later in life benefit in their profession and be productive people within our society.
