My Project

Classroom transformations are so much fun for students and they get so engaged that they don’t even realize that they are learning. We typically do a transformation during our most rigorous content! They stay focused the entire time and truly learn so much! We will be transforming the reading center into an ice cream parlor where students will practice their retelling skills, rhyming skills, word work, and social skills through dramatic play stations. The room transformation and activities will be used with all 550 students, grades kindergarten through 3rd grade.

Ms. Reusch Lincoln Elementary School Grades PreK-2
