Engaged Learning Inside and Outside

Help me give my students the tools they need for fidgety days, rainy days, and for our outdoor classroom in our class garden.

My Project

This project will support the engaging and accepting culture of my classroom. While some students can sit still and remain engaged in lessons, some students need seating that allows for wiggling and bouncing of feet. Movement will allow these students to get their energy out while helping them focus on the task at hand. Recess is great time to move, but in the case of rainy indoor-recess days, the Spot It games might be really helpful in keeping school fun for them.

Movement inside and outside the classroom will help curious learners remain engaged in our lessons.

Students enjoy the hands-on lessons in our outdoor areas. Gardening gloves, soil, and worm castings will allow us to prepare our garden boxes for our year of lessons which integrate grade 4 health, science, social studies (Hawaiian Studies), reading, and writing.
