My Project

While creativity may be thought as "arts and crafts", I choose to think of creativity as hands-on projects made with any kind of materials that lets students showcase their inner inventor. Our soft starts we have in the morning, allow students to use these materials to work on STEM projects with others or themselves.

These STEM materials are vital materials for a student's imagination to explore.

Within this project, I am also requesting SEL needs to benefit my classroom. These included positive affirmation posters regarding reading, clorox wipes, and fidget bands provided to each student if they would like one for movement. Studies have shown that when students are able to learn in a environment that they feel safe in, as well as can move in they are apt to feel better about their own learning and attend to the class discussions.
