My Project

We love to incorporate color in our classroom. Using colorful printouts with the ink excites their little minds and brightens up their activities. We love setting timers so they are encouraged to stay on task and complete projects within the time assigned. This new timer will get them motivated to make sure they are on task. The students love to keep their supplies in colorful bins and new bins are needed to continue moving forward. The students love leadership roles so new lanyards are needed so we can assign leadership roles for group work. All our students want the opportunity to be leaders. Also, we would love to motivate our students with some new rewards in our Treasure Chest. They love earing rewards and having opportunities to go to the Treasure Chest weekly.
