Help me give my students a memorable school year with engaging lessons supported with props and new learning tools like a claw machine, a pencil dispenser, prizes, and more to create many learning memories.
My students are from a small town in Wisconsin. They have big hearts and focus on working together, being kind, and giving their best. They are active and love games to make learning fun and engaging.
They love opportunities to work in teams to solve real-world learning problems.
They support each other by peer tutoring, encouraging each other and being kind. Playing games and solving mysteries to learn is one fun way my kids are motivated to learn and use their knowledge to succeed.
Our small town hosts a Polka festival each summer honoring the Polish heritage prominent in our community. Our class is committed to our community and has taken opportunities to give back. We spend time each year focusing on how we can give back to our community and our school.
My Project
The materials I chose will support students in engagement and rewards for making great progress in learning. To start, there are materials to create theme days to engage learners and make learning memorable: from safari adventures to Fiesta Day, construction building, carnival themed rewards and prizes, math fun, and a racecar pit stop. There will be plenty of exciting learning happening this year with these props and learning tools, and prizes. We are a PBIS school that loves to promote positive choices and reward great behaviors. I would love to use a game system reward system where students get to play the claw machine on our carnival learning day with their reward tokens earned through the learning of new skills. Additionally, I think it would be great motivation to learning and tokens will be earned by meeting goals and mastering new skills along with great learning attitudes!
Memorable lessons lead to successful learning!
I am hoping to give my students a school year full of unique learning experiences they will not surely forget. I want my students to look forward to coming to school and seeing what fun adventures are in store to support their learning in third grade!
