I teach second graders in one of the best rural schools in Oklahoma! My students are amazing, inquisitive, and eager-to-learn. Although some may have difficult lives, my students come to school with smiles on their faces. They are supportive and cheer each other to success. Half of them go to Title I Reading, 30 minutes every day, for extra help.
My students are special because they have curiosity, creativity, compassion, and positive attitudes.
They are leaders who show love, compassion, kindness, and bravery. They are truly amazing people. My school is wonderfully supportive of the active, hands-on learning that we do in our classroom. I couldn't ask for a better environment for these students. We are truly a community!
My Project
My students will be studying Greek Mythology using a TeachersPayTeachers resource. Before we start our Greek Mythology unit I will divide my students into groups of four. During their studies my students will take notes about what they are learning, select a Greek God, and make a group poster about that God. Instead of having my students draw and write on their posters with markers I want my students to cut letters, pictures, and objects to spruce up their poster using the Silhouette cutting machine. This Silhouette would save the day by helping my students with lettering and drawings. It will also save so much time, time that can be spent on lessons!
Having a Silhouette in the classroom will bring out the creativity in my students as well as keep them engaged in various classical studies.
When students are presenting their Mythology posters they will need team shirts. That’s where the heat press will come in. Students will design a team shirt (the design will relate to the Greek God they chose) cut out the design using vinyl, and press it onto their shirts using the heat press!
