My Project

Maintaining a classroom is an exhausting and never ending to-do list which makes us teachers often feel like a performer spinning plates in the air. I have found to start my plates spinning is to brighten students' start to class with a small sweet reward, like a caramel or a mint. Specific practices like highlighting and guided reading maintain focus and make learning more accessible to students who otherwise struggle and get distracted. And always, always, we need to make learning visible with posters!

With these donations, my students will have renewed focus and enthusiasm for our class activities.

I am looking forward to continuing our year with more focus and even higher achievement. Thank you!
