My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly.
We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners each year!
My Project
My students need access to more technology resources to better the learning environment in the class room! I am requesting Osmo, Boogie Boards, and Chromebooks which will allow my students to grow as 21st century learners. My students absolutely love learning through technology and expressing their creativity through art.
We are in need of a child friendly, reusable, effective, and fun way for my young learners to develop their reading, writing, and math skills quickly and efficiently.
Having iPads is a great tool and resource however, Chromebooks in our classroom will help my students first and foremost learn how to navigate a computer. In the next few years, they will be expected to create projects, do research, and take assessments using the computer. Furthermore, we will be able to enhance learning by being able to explore Google Classroom and other learning websites. We will be able to learn by tapping into resources outside of our classroom walls. The Osmo combines their loves together - they become a designer, coder, mathematician, race car driver, problem solver, and creator, all while utilizing technology! Our classroom currently has iPads for the students to use, but we need more then just a few apps to do on them when doing rotations. The Osmo Genius kit will allow students to practice math, sight words, and increase their understanding of geometric shapes and how they fit together with the words, tangrams, and Math programs. We would also love noise canceling headphones to ensure that each student student in our room is able to be successful in their learning!
