A typical day in my classroom involves a rich curriculum incorporated with purposeful movement. Jean Blaydes says, "Physical activity grows brain cells, and that cerebellum research tells us, What makes us move, makes us think." I encourage independent reading of high interest topics for all of my students on a daily basis, while modeling my own reading for them.
My school is at a high poverty rate.
Many of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Ruby Payne states, "Almost all children of poverty rely on kinesthetic strengths for learning." They need encouragement from the school to show them that learning can be enjoyable and experiences and memories can be made.
My Project
These requested earbuds and cases will provide safe social distancing and hygiene practices in the classroom during face-to-face instruction.
Active use of computer programs to create projects and collaboration is crucial to our classroom.
Students will practice social distancing with earbuds to work collaboratively on projects and on computer programs in the classroom. We utilize various apps and programs in our classrooms, and with social distancing, I want the students to still be able to work together and collaborate on small group projects. Along with needing individual earbuds, students will also need storage for their earbuds so they don't damage or lose their earbuds.
