My Project

This project is so important for me and for my students! The math talk books and math games will help my 3rd graders engage with mathematics and problem-solving each day. The colored paper and glue will allow students to express their artistic creativity and scientific ingenuity. The pencil boxes, folders, nameplates, and paperclips will not only provide organizational tools for each student but will also assist with essential classroom management.

A balance of direct instruction and holistic learning is essential in our inclusive classroom.

Projects like this allow me to reach students where they are when they enter my room. All of the items in this project will allow me to build relationships through a STEAM-rich environment and to help students reach their highest potential as problem solvers and artists!
