My students are hard-working, inquisitive, and interested learners. They are the most empathetic group of kids I have ever met. They come to school every day ready to learn. They are kind, thoughtful, and caring to one another and to other students in the school.
They love to read, and love to learn math!
They make me so proud each and every day. I love to be their teacher. I look forward to seeing their smiling faces every morning as they come in and give me a hug!
They are some of the hardest-working kids I have ever met. I want to give them the best learning environment possible. I need these materials because I do not have enough options for my students to choose where they sit. These will give my students more opportunities to choose where they get to sit to learn!
My Project
My students love to learn by using hands-on materials. In third grade, students learn about magnets, building bridges, structures, animal and plant adaptations.
These materials will be used with each science unit I am teaching.
For example, students are taught about the interactions and the forces of magnets. Students will not only be explicitly taught each skill, but they will also get to experience hands-on learning activities as well. The different kits I added to this project will enhance these lessons. I believe giving the students these opportunities, allows them to dive deeper into topics they are learning about.
