My Students

My students are a wonderful group of curious learners. Their knowledge of science and social studies material has grown significantly this year. That is because of their curiosity. They love having new materials to look over.

This project will be the trigger for so many new learning opportunities!

My hope is that this will allow them to explore more diverse topics as we continue learning.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in our students' learning. It will allow us to engage in our social studies and science classes. I want every student in my room to enjoy and love great stories. The books on inclusion and activism will be a great start for them. We have a diverse student population and this will be of interest to many of them.

Also, I use a lot of alternative seating in my room.

The stool will allow students to use our standing desks more comfortably. Student comfort is huge for their ability to engage and enjoy class.
