My Project
My first graders are a bunch of bright, curious minds, constantly surprising me with their genuine love of learning. They're on a fantastic journey to become readers, writers, and thinkers. Watching their confidence bloom is incredible, but sometimes, that little fear of speaking up in front of everyone holds them back.
That's why I'm passionate about making our classroom a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing.
I want to build their confidence, get them excited about participating, and give them different learning methods that fit their needs.
These little whiteboards are like magic. They give the kids a safe space to try their ideas without feeling like everyone's watching. During reading, math, or small group time, they can scribble answers, brainstorm, and show me their thoughts. Because they can erase, my students are not afraid to experiment, change things up, or make mistakes; it helps them embrace the learning process.
The whiteboards let me see what everyone understands, not just the kids who always raise their hands. I can get instant feedback, adjust my teaching on the spot, and keep everyone moving forward together.
The headphones will let them focus really well on audiobooks, online lessons, and interactive programs without distractions. The Bluetooth speaker for the classroom will bring stories, songs, and videos to life, making learning fun and engaging for everyone.
These aren't just tools; they're like keys to unlocking my students' potential. I want to create a classroom where every kid feels heard, every idea is valued, and everyone can shine.
