My Project

My students are curious and anxious to learn. At such a young age my students want to learn with their hands. They want to build, manipulate, draw and move. COVID-19 has made this very difficult these past years as students were unable to collaborate, manipulate or work as a team.

I want to recreate the hands-on learning environment that is safe and inviting to all my students.

The requested resources will ensure that my students will be given a hands on learning approach where they are in charge of their education. I want each of my students to explore and learn without having to stay at their desk. While my students are young it is vital to utilize their love and curiosity of learning to create a wonderful foundation.
