I have a very enthusiastic, cheerful, hard-working group of 6-year-olds who love to learn! They are super motivated by technology which allows them to be engaged in learning the content. Each one of my students is kinesthetic learners, so it takes a lot of material to help them in their learning experiences. Each day they come in the classroom asking what activities they are going to be doing, which tells me they are excited to learn!
All of my students are leaders in the classroom, and they work hard every day to meet the expectations of not only the classroom but the school as well.
It is a blessing to me to watch them learn and grow each day. I set very high expectations for my students so they may raise the bar in their own personal goals in the classroom.
I hope to add some engaging materials to meet their learning needs so they may achieve a greater level of learning. This will only motivate them to strive for greater in the future. I am a firm believer that my students will move mountains if we only give them resources to do so.
My Project
Students are more deeply engaged in learning when they have more hands-on experiences in the classroom. I am hoping to add some supplies that will give them a concrete understanding of what they are learning. The magnetic letters will be used to teach phonemic awareness skills in which are vital when learning to read. Students can easily identify consonants and vowels with these letter sets. When learning to read students learn the phonics skills in which they can decode a word. The base ten blocks will give students a more concrete way of learning place value and how to determine groups of tens and ones.
Having these resources will create an enhanced learning environment as well as a more engaging, hands-on learning experience.
