My Project

I am creating this project to show my students that if they stick to their dreams nothing is impossible. With determination, they can achieve so much and go anywhere they want in life. Our Move Up day is quickly approaching and I want to give an awesome experience but most importantly shine the light on them. Throughout the school year, my students have persevered through a lot of changes and still managed to grow academically, and socially all while creating memories. My main goal is to give them a great move day they will remember by giving them graduation hats, tassels, and graduation gifts to honor them for all their hard work and accomplishments throughout the school year. I also want to give them workbooks and books to read over the summer to help them continue their learning and prepare them for kindergarten or their second year of preschool.
