My Project

I chose a champion mindset theme for my students this year that will instill that success isn't about being the best—it's about becoming the best version of themselves. We will start the first day with activities that show when you work hard, learn from mistakes, encourage others and never give up: you will ALWAYS be a champion!

I will implement team huddles, championship goals, victory boards as well as a timeouts to reset.

The rug, dry erase clipboards, and mobile standing desk will allow me to create spaces keep my champions engaged and be able to interact with them comfortably.

I hope this will emphasize to my students that everyone can develop a champion mindset through consistent effort and positive choices.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
