My Project

My goal is to build a classroom that is rich in conversation, collaboration, and community. From phonics practice, to shared readings, poems, songs, and math talks, dry erase boards and headphone will allow all of my students to engage equally with new academic content. With dry erase items, my students will be able to come up and share their ideas, discover new information, and add on or ask questions of their classmates. Over time, they will be able to take charge of their own independent learning. Headphones help each student focus during testing and independent time.

This project will have a lasting impact on my students' identities as learners.

When they are able to read, write, and share their own ideas, they will actively grow into their own scholarly identities. With these items, I will be able to develop lessons that are engaging and relevant to my students. The materials and curriculum will become a part of our shared space, in which each child can construct his/her own knowledge through actively participating and creating new meanings.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
