My Project

My students come to school eager and ready to learn. As the year goes on different resources are needed for my students to grow and continue to learn. Having an organized classroom is essential.

My students demonstrate effort and are taught in having a growth mindset to help them achieve their goals.

My students love to create books and folding them does not do the job. The long-reach stapler will allow them to bind their work. The gift cards will be used to select rewards for student effort and positive reinforcement. The magnetic holder will be used to organize group work and keep important task frames to help guide small-group instruction. Clipboards are needed throughout the day for both students and me.

These resources will help keep my class on track to learning and engaged.

Grades 3-5
