My Students

Hello,

My very energetic students are eager to explore and learn using a variety of tools, books and through play.

They become elated when they are being read to and when they are able to read words, and simple sentences. No child has only one learning style. My auditory and visual learners are also kinesthetic learners, therefore they all enjoy moving and bouncing about in the classroom and also using their hands to build and touch things.

My Project

It is my view that catering to all learning needs create a healthy classroom, where children learn and are developed holistically.

As an advocate for social distancing, the foot dispenser will allow for students to limit touching surfaces.

The books selected will create a print rich class and will help me take students from one reading level to the next.

The other resources selected will aid proper organization of students resources. They will not be touching each other's resources and they will be labeled and be divided.

The balls will be used by students who learn and maintain focus by moving.
