The students who are in my classroom are eager to learn and are creating an image of what school and learning is and should be. Having them all reach out to different ways to learn and different ways to regulate themselves is very important.
They walk in with smiles and excitement glistening in their eyes.
Students are encouraged to work on finding things that work for them and to take charge of their learning. All students deserve these opportunities. I want to give them these chances in my classroom.
My Project
Students will be able to explore how to build things following directions as well as freely. They will also be able to do this outside of the school day, after school and at home. Being able to share these ideas outside of the school day is empowering to the students.
Students will be inspired to use their creativity and imaginations throughout the tasks and also be able to explore it in many different ways.
They will also have ways to move during these activities after school so that they can stay focused.
Students will primarily be exploring the following standard during their explorations. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
Finally, students will be able to explore using the regrouping trays and be able to show how they solved equations to their families, by using these materials. They will be able to work on the following standard: Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models.
