Independent and Authentic Learners!

Help me give my students materials to support their independence, growth, and creativity!

My Students

My students are the most resilient, kind, and hard working citizens. Despite all that has been thrown at them, they continue to impress me with their grit and willingness to improve and genuinely want to do well in everything they do.

I thrive to help my students have authentic learning experiences daily.

One day they won't be in a classroom guided by adults. They will need to solve problems, hard problems on their own. They work so hard and I hope to be just a blip in their learning and growth.

My Project

The materials in this project are going to help my students in so many ways. We always thrive to create a learning environment where students can engage and build and grow on their own. After direct instruction, we want students to be able to show us what they know in ways of their choice!

The materials will help students become builders and engagers of their own learning.

With the math manipulatives, students can use tactile learning to better understand difficult concepts. With the markers, posters, bright paper, and laminating sheets, we can create lasting projects that help students remember and grow. They can also show their learning in so many ways. The headphones will help students practice their listening and communication skills. The timers will help my students improve their reading skills. New whiteboards will also help them with their writing and grammar applications. They can apply what they learn in the books in so many ways with the other materials requested.

Students will really be able to just focus on the learning. When the materials are available to them and they know what is available to them, their creativity is limitless!
