My Students

Each child in my classroom loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. Our school is a Title I school with great students who do not have much to call their own. It is so wonderful to have all the students back in the building. I want to give the best to my students because they are amazing and resilient.

My Project

My students are so excited to have hands on activities to help engage their learning. The items in my project are not only engaging but also hands on. I believe after being home for a year and doing online learning. My students have a harder time sitting at their desk and staying on task. Hands on activities and flexible seating have been a game changer this year with engagement. These items will help with our math rotations and team work. I want to build up the excitement for school again and these items will help that.
