My Project

My group of third graders this year are some of the sweetest kids I have had the honor of teaching. They work hard and have improved so much academically, socially, and emotionally this year! I could not be more proud of them!

We are about to hit the stressful time of the school year for my students.

In third grade students have to take a test called Iread3 and Ilearn. The Iread3 test determines if they will be passed on to fourth grade or remain in third grade!

Talk about stress! I want to help my students relax during the testing weeks! Yes, we test over multiple weeks! With the addition of the magnetic tiles and LEGOs, my students will be able to have some downtime after our long stressful testing mornings! These resources will not only help elevate some of the stress of the test, but also be a tool for kids' creativity and engineering minds!

Please help my students elevate stress and help us to become the engineers of the future!
