My Project

Students will use the storage bins, storage cube organizers, folders, book boxes, Post-its, laminating pages, writing utensils (pencils/highlighters), book-making stapler, and sentence strips for goal-setting work.

Through this project, students will have established organization and the essential resources to begin the individualized goal-setting work.

I will be able to meet the needs of all through this structure and organization by differentiating instruction and providing meaningful systems, structures, scaffolding, and accountability day to day for my class.

My goal is to allow students to have meaningful and intentional learning by keeping resources readily available through the classroom organization and have structures and systems set that are purposeful for learning to not just occur but for students to thrive with predictability and ownership of their work. Each student will receive a folder, a book box, pencils, highlighters, and Post-its as well as printed books and sentence strips based on the reading, writing, SEL, and Math goals set.

My students are special because each and every day they are inspiring in the ways they want to make a difference in OUR world. They show me how the accountability of anything done in this world falls on those in it.
