My Project

My school is big on engaging children in inquiry-based learning and allowing them to move around the room to provide a more individualized education. My classroom is center-based. The headphones will be used with our Chromebooks for Literacy and Math interventions, and iPads.

Other resources like pencils, crayons, dry-erase erasers, and glue sticks will be used inside the center boxes to allow students a greater variety of center tasks.

This form of organization makes it super easy for individual students to work independently, allowing me to work with other students in smaller groups. All of these materials will be used to create, hold, sort, and organize belongings for my wonderful future students.

Lastly, the student notebooks are kindergarten-friendly friendly which provides large lines and space for students to complete their writing.
