My Project

Students will use the dry erase markers to help them process their thoughts. By writing their answers on white boards before sharing with peers and the class, they are able to better formulate and organize their thoughts.

Pencils are always in high demand, so having pencils in class for students is necessary.

The colorful pencils will be incentives for class participation and a reward for students who demonstrate a commitment to learning and friendship. Snacks are also a great motivator and reward for students who work hard throughout the day and exhaust their energy resources.

Ms. Criswell
Grades 6-8
