My Project

My students are hard workers, and have a drive to never give up. With their growth mindset values COVID-19 brought on some challenges throughout the year, but because of their perseverance my students have always looked at the positive in their learning experience, their developments in school, and their social skills with one another.

The biggest challenge with COVID-19 last year and bringing it into this upcoming school year has been my students writing skills and social emotional skills.

With the help of the tools in my project, I can help students build relationships with one another through the STEAM kit, I can help their reading with the library and transfer their comprehension skills into a writing piece together.
