My seventh grade English language arts students are kind, respectful, and willing to take on challenges posed to them. Our students, who live in rural midwest Wisconsin, are hard-working and recognize that technological advances that are available in the industry can enhance their learning experiences. The students I teach desire to be creative and have embraced the idea that showcasing their learning to others, such as parents and community members, creates a more authentic experience. Recently, my seventh-grade students of 60 invited over 130 community members to view and listen to their performances and projects entitled "Day at the Museum." I love that our students embrace learning and are sharing their learning beyond the school walls.
As educators, we are seeking to provide opportunities for our students to experience authentic learning where they are asked to explore critical thinking, creative, collaborative, and communication skills necessary for the 21st century.
My Project
Our students appreciate hands-on learning and having a laminator and laminating sheets to use in our classroom will allow students to write with dry erase markers on classroom materials. After which, students can erase their marks and rework their ideas or erase their work and offer the activity to another student.
Having a laminator can improve the efficiency of a lesson and offer a fun way for the students to visually show their thinking.
The laminator and sheets will provide an opportunity for students to make their special projects more durable as well as provide classroom directions, procedures, and information more durable and long-lasting.
