My Project

Our students show up every day looking for a way to connect to the instruction they are learning in our classrooms. They want to explore, analyze, and observe everything around them, all day long. We truly have a curious group of 3-5th graders in our classrooms. The barriers that exist for them outside of our walls cannot be controlled. But, we work tirelessly everyday to ensure the opportunities for success exist for each student. One way we'd like to feed this curiosity is through hands-on exploration.

Removing barriers and instilling a love of learning is at the forefront of our mind, every day.

By providing live habitats, magnets, solar cars, books, experiment kits, and social studies lessons, we can begin to target the kinesthetic learners and open a door of critical thinking and exploration.
