My Students

I have a classroom of 20 low to middle income third grade students. Many of the students are not currently meeting grade level expectations. They are all capable of meeting those expectations with that extra little push that I hope to give them each and every day.

While the students in my class came in below grade level, through the school year we have seen immense improvement in their achievement levels.

This has been obtained through the use of multiple teaching strategies that include: center based learning, project based learning, direct instruction, flipped instruction, small group instruction, intensive instruction, and even an attempted use of alternative seating.

My Project

By getting Breakout kits and access to the activities for my classroom I will be able to create and use engaging activities to teach content and as reviews. My students are eager for activities that stimulate their critical thinking skills. The Breakout kits will give them an activity where they can utilize the social skills they have in a positive manner. These kits will create a positive environment where all students can productively struggle on an assignment. I hope to give my students an opportunity to become stronger problem solvers, better teammates, and life long learners through escape room type activities
