My Project

My enthusiastic students are full of energy, love to express themselves, and actively participate in our classroom activities. They are ready to go on a new learning adventure. Celebrating the holidays is an important part of our year and are often the most memorable. We celebrate the holidays of my diverse students along with our national holidays.

Having resources to complete arts and crafts is an important part of our school day as it allows time to socialize, follow directions, and learn about different holidays while having fun.

The fall crafts will encourage greater participation in our discussion of Fall and the holidays we celebrate. The gingerbread houses will begin our winter themed unit.

My goal is to give them the best learning experience and make it a memorable year. My responsibility is to guide my students to become more independent to prepare to be the best lifelong learners. I believe the more engaged my students are, the better outcomes they will have.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
