My Students

Students in my class are bright and love a new challenge. With the rising demands expected for students today, it's a challenge to find new and engaging materials to meet the needs of all learners in a self-contained classroom.

My classroom is composed of a variety of learners who need materials that will provide them with opportunities for growth at extremely different levels.

Our campus has gifted and talented students, special education students, LEP students, dyslexic students, and students from the Essential Academic Setting. The Hot Dot learning cards will provide self checking stations at a variety of different levels, but still meeting the needs of my learners without making them feel different.

Brain research supports the long term benefits of having fun while you learn. Students will feel empowered as the Hot Dot pen celebrates all their correct answers!

My Project

The Hot Dots activities encourages independent, self-paced learning while targeting key developmental and grade-specific skills which are the building blocks for what we are learning in 3rd grade.

Just press the HOT DOTS pen to the answer dot for an immediate response—colorful LIGHTS, fun PHRASES, and even silly SOUNDS!

What a great way to motivate & reward little learners!
