Help me give my students a magical experience with the room transformation materials and incentives to keep learning exciting for the remainder of the year. This will ensure the learning will stick with them.
I have a classroom of students who love to learn. They come to school excited to learn every day. They are all very respectful and very well behaved. My students are kind and caring to one another and they encourage each other. They are grateful to be attending school face-to-face and I want to make this unusual experience a positive experience for them. We keep waiting for "normal" to return but I'm afraid this is our new "normal." We moved to a mask mandate because of high covid cases and now we are temporarily learning virtually again. I want to provide my students with the fun and engaging room transformations they deserve.
My class consists of 26 remarkable students.
My Project
In light of Covid and our new "normal" being nothing like normal, I want to provide my students with a few memorable activities that they so deserve in these hard times. First, Fantasy Week which will be held in the spring. During this week we will study the genre of fantasy. The entire third-grade will do a complete transformation into Hogwarts. For this I will use the table cloths for decorating walls and tables and to hang like ribbon from the ceiling and book covers on their chairs in their house colors. The brick paper will be hung on the walls as well. Students will receive their letter inviting them to Hogwarts, they will get a decorated house bag, (black craft bags), with their wizard materials. And during the magical week they will dissect owl pellets and make chocolate frogs and that is what the gloves will be for. Another great room transformation is Spring Training where the classroom is transformed into a baseball field. During this week students review third grade concepts in the format of a baseball game. They will work in teams answering questions and running the bases until they make it to home plate and win the game. Along the way receiving baseball treats as a reward for their hard work.
I expect to see higher math unit scores, guided reading levels, and ELA benchmarks, but more importantly, a love for learning.
These meaningful activities take a lot of extra time and money for me to create and put into action but it will be worth it.
In addition, these activities will keep students engaged and excited about math, reading, and writing throughout the remainder of the year. These memories will be long lasting and the learning will stick with them because it was
