It Time to Be Creative!

Help me give my students a chance to be creative and think outside the box with their first creative kit. I am also excited for my students to practice using communication skills, mental math, and money skills.

My Students

This will be my first year teaching at our school and I am excited to meet my new first graders. Our school and students were effected by a hurricane last year and due to financial hardship our school is considered a Title I school and all students receive free breakfast. No matter the difficulties all of our students face they come to school with the love of learning and every teacher wants to continue that and foster life long learners.

All students have to be held to high expectations to allow them to work at their full potential, as a teacher it is my job to encourage and foster that learning in new ways to keep all my students engaged.

I believe with this donation it will allow my students to learn in new creative ways that will continue their positive view on education.

My Project

If this new project is funded our students will have the chance to be creative and illustrate different animals we learn about, think outside the box, and use problem solving skills. Also included in this project is an Osmo kit that will allow our students to solve real world problems using money. The best way for kids to learn is hands on and an Osmo kit is a fun way to do it!

Our students look forward to using the Osmo daily during math centers and reading ; they are going to LOVE being creative with our new kit!

Our new kits will allow our kids to be creative and use their critical thinking skills while enjoying the learning process.
