My Students

My class is ecstatic about learning! They consistently desire to dive deeper into the topics we study, and cannot get enough. They have vibrant personalities, are inquisitive, and are always looking to learn a new skill in order to help someone else.

This group is the epitome of kindness and cooperation.

I have never taught a group of kids that, collectively, are incredibly willing to sacrifice for one another and go out of their way to make someone else feel taken care of. When given additional opportunities to excel, this group embraces them, and does it so as a team.

My Project

Our class loves learning in new and interesting ways. This project has a lot of goodies that will help our classroom lessons stay engaging. The hands-on coin and letter stamps will add to our math and phonics lessons. Stamps can bring learning to life and reach students who need to see information in different ways, visually and kinesthetically. All students can benefit from these lessons, especially those with special needs.

Our classroom also needs a refill of some classroom basics like glue sticks, pens, velcro, paper, and supplies to keep it all clean.

The glue helps us have the resources to cut, paste, make, and create! The velcro allows our classroom to put words up on our word wall. The pens will be used for our writing workshop. Students can writing their poetry (our current unit) in black and go back with color to edit. This adds a lot of engagement in the writing process for students!

Hands-on experiences in the classroom help student gain a strong understanding of foundational skills, they can feel confident and ready to conquer new challenges ahead! This project is one more way to prepare students for the future!

Thank you for taking the ​time to read and consider this project. I hope to one day make this project a reality for the students in my classroom.
