My Project

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! Each day, they come to school ready to try new things and take brave chances to grow both personally and academically.

Having a light table would be a great asset to our classroom.

Our school is nestled in the heart of East New York.

Our classroom has had the opportunity to be come very diverse this year. We want the light table to explore light for the first time. We will be using the light table to see how having light under objects changes the color of the objects. They will also be using the table to help them trace letters and shapes.

Each child in my classroom loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate various 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 indeed an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners.
