My Project

I love how my students want to learn. They have continued to show throughout the year that they have an excellent for learning new skills.

I created this project in hopes of helping my students learn a new skill that interests them.

Although many of the items I selected for this project are basic supplies like pencils, glue stick and markers and that will help my students with their assignments and daily development. I have added a 3d printer and some flexible seating options to better help with their independent learning. My students want to explore the technology of creating different and unique experiences. They are committed to learning about how 3d printing technology works and how it can enhance their learning.

Flexible seating will allow students to make decisions on what will work best for them. Currently they don’t have a lot of options. However I am hoping that adding some flexible seating will help give them the ability to select the best fit and area to accommodate their needs to help them to continue to grow.
