My Students

They are great children. All have a desire to learn. They are hard working and always complete their homework assignments. They have learned to work together as a group and they are happy children.

The students abilities are different and their life's experiences are different.

We have fun learning and experiencing new things. Examples--Making birds nest out of strips of construction paper, making diagrams of how the wheat plant grows and hands on observation of a pumpkin--feeling the pulp and the seeds.

My Project

They will give the students extra incentive to continue to do their best work while serving as a stepping stone to building and creating thing with their hands.

It could be a individual, partner or group time activity.

The students will be given time to share their project. When done the baggies of material will be sent home.

The project will encompass counting, sorting, following directions, completing project and cleaning up.

I know the straws and connectors build a rocket and we might do that as a class project but I plan on counting so many straws and so many connectors out and letting them create a shape or a chair or wheel. Letting them experiment.
