My Students

In our 3rd grade classroom, students love to learn. They engage in the world around them in a myriad of ways, hoping to learn through each experience and grow as they learn.

My third graders are sweet and amazing individuals who love to learn.

They explore each subject, working on their understanding of each topic. They thrive when presented with hands-on manipulatives and projects, using them to further their knowledge of the world around them.

My Project

My students will use the Lego kits during our unit on communities, building with the bricks their own community complete with roads, business centers, and personal homes. In addition, this kit will be used to in our writing program to enhance writing prompts. Our materials will also be used by students as hands-on devices integrated into lessons to help students with attention challenges to focus on the task at hand.

These Lego kits, Hokki stools, and craft trays will make a huge difference in the learning experiences of each child in my class.

Regardless of social standing, they will all have equal access to a tool that they can use to cement their understanding. They will be able to visualize concepts being taught in class by creating three dimensional representations of them. Children who struggle to remain seated and still will finally be able to move as they need to when sitting on the Hokki stools.
