My Project

This project is dedicated to our third-grade class. Our school mascot is a dragon, hence the project title! It is my first year teaching at this school, and I want to do everything I can so that my students have everything they need to have a great school year ahead.

This grade's social studies curriculum centers around world geography, which is why the globe is on our list.

Given that I am new to the school, the "We're Not Really Strangers: Kids Edition" deck would be used during morning meetings. Tools, such as the flexible seating bands, fidget toys, and liquid motion bubblers are for students who need them to focus. Ziplocs, glue sticks, Goldfish/Cheez Its snack bundle, popcorn, and Annie's variety pack will be for everyday use. Lastly, the Vaseline and Q-tips will be for students to use as the temperature decreases.

As a special education teacher in an ICT classroom, my main goal for this project is to provide all of my students with resources that cover their living and learning needs. I hope we can work together to fulfill this! Thank you in advance for your generosity.
