The reason I love my school so much is because it is known around the community as a close-knit school. I had the the opportunity to intern, last year, at my school before being hired on as a teacher. The acceptance and support I felt from my coworkers made the decision easy to want to stay with the school after my internship ended.
My students deserve a space to collaborate, experiment, and grow into well-rounded individuals.
Upon entering my second year, I want to give my scholars an opportunity to have a comfortable and inspiring space. My students want to learn. They come to school to feel loved and supported in this process.
My Project
Instead of a desk for every activity, a classroom rug offers my scholars an alternative spot in the room to explore their thinking. Making sure students are comfortable is an important part of the learning process. One of my favorite examples set in a pre-internship, was my host teacher giving students the opportunity to sit on the classroom rug for the lesson. I would love to recreate this experience for my own student in a math lesson. The dice, chip counters, flashlights, and game buzzers in this project will help expand thinking and provide hands on experiences. One of my student's favorite review games before a math test is Jeopardy. I plan on using the game buzzers to have students push once they have their answer and create a visual for other students.
Speaking of exploring, travel is our school theme for next year.
I would love for my students to have an adventurous experience in the classroom as well. My hope is that the posters, post cards, and banners will expose and introduce my students to places they have never seen.
