My Project

I am looking to redo different teaching strategies next year in my classroom for my students. I am going to be focusing on literacy as I feel like that is a base for their learning. We would like to create literacy binders, as well as provide children with headphones for when they are doing online learning. Additionally, we would like to provide items that will help us create a space where the children are able to learn and grow with tools that have been provided to them. Another idea that my current children had was to have homework binders, not folders. It will be a tool for the children to use in the evenings!
