My Project
I love my 2nd-grade students for their curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to explore the world around them. They learn best through hands-on experiences, and this project will provide them with the materials they need to deepen their understanding of land and waterforms in an engaging way.
With trays, playdough, and toolkits, my students will be able to create and manipulate different land and waterforms, making abstract concepts more tangible and easier to understand.
These hands-on activities will enhance their spatial thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to connect classroom lessons to the real world.
My goal for this project is to foster a love for geography and science while encouraging interactive and collaborative learning. My students are special because they are enthusiastic learners who thrive when given the opportunity to explore, create, and discover through meaningful experiences.
