My Project

My students are empathetic and truly care about others. We have built an amazing classroom community.

My students would love to give their kinder guardians something to treasure.

These learning supplies would grant my students' wishes and give their people at home something to keep forever.

Students will use their literacy skills and create word bracelets and holiday plates. They will take photos of one another and create photo ornaments. Students will use their fine motor and following direction skills to complete the other projects. This project promotes academic, social/emotional, but also shows my students other people are rooting for them, too!
