My Students

My students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, but come to school every day ready to grow. At my school, children learn through hands-on exploration and cross-curricular instruction, supported by a STEAM focused curriculum.

“What,” “why,” "when," and “how” are words that are embraced and encouraged in my classroom.

Students are agents of their own learning and given the space to investigate their interests. My classroom is a place for students to grow, imagine, build, and thrive, all through learning.

My Project

This easel will make a difference in my students’ learning by allowing me to display big books when I’m reading to the class and displaying phonics posters or other posters that will enhance their learning. My students would be able to write on a vertical surface as opposed to a horizontal surface that they are accustomed to writing on.

Since this easel is mobile, it would be great to use for a math center with items such as, but not limited to, magnetic counters/ten frames, sequencing numbers, creating and completing patterns etc.

We would also use it during our ELA centers (magnetic letters, word work, retelling stories, sentence structure). If we are limited to indoor recess, my students could enjoy drawing, writing and using magnetic letters, numbers, and manipulatives on it during free-choice center time. It has a storage area which could be utilized to store math magnetic manipulatives and magnetic pattern blocks, posters, wall cards, some big books, dry erase markers and erasers. This double-wide teaching easel with locking casters would be a great asset to our classroom.
