My Project
For this school year, 2025-2026, I will be teaching 3rd Graders. Right now, when my scholars walk into the classroom in the morning, they're greeted by uniform rows of desks and chairs. There's no variety! No excitement! What we need is a change! I'm looking for the "Super Heroes" option, which means I'd like to provide the scholars with super motivation to learn and to kick the ACAP test, and to engage them while they're learning super smart ways. Giving my scholars the actions to help them stay focused and bright in class and feel welcome. I chose the Super Hero theme cause most children are into Marvel and DC. Using this theme would make them too eager to power up for learning. Also, using the Apple iPad and Apple pencil would help me stay engaged with my scholars as we work in whole groups. Instead of walking around with my teacher's edition, it would be easier to use the iPad and pencil while I'm engaged and teaching my scholars.
"But even then, our classroom still feels like it's stuck in the past because the scholars don't feel welcome and eager to learn."
I want my scholars to be open-minded and feel excited to be at school and walk into their classroom, and get super learning powers. I want to make a difference for my scholars to feel passionate and belong in Mrs. Dortch-Tompkins' SuperHero Class. We're living in the 21st century, where you've gotta be tech and motivated by the time you're five, or you're handed a caveperson and shunned.
Your donations will blast my scholars into the modern-day, SuperHero Powers the whole way!
