My Project

We will use materials for our small group to help enhance our students thinking and learning. The chart paper, white paper, and markers will be used for our students to see the important information in small and whole group lessons. Students will be able to excel when they have the right materials to achieve their classroom goals. Students will also be effective when their classrooms are organized and neat. Students will be able to have successful small and whole groups when they are to utilize chart paper, markers, pencils and organizers.
