I am beginning my teaching career in a rural, low socioeconomic, Title I school that is 101 years old. It is my old alma mater from my elementary years! When my 3rd graders walk into class they will be full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them. The kiddos are kind, loving, and adore learning with their whole hearts. I want them to know I believe in them and that they can do anything. This is such a big year for them!
In my class, I have eager learners from different backgrounds.
I will have several students with IEPs who attend resource classes, and others with intervention plans due to working below grade level. My kiddos' learning levels will span from early elementary to grade level! They need experiences daily with hands-on materials that will help stimulate their creative thinking and reasoning skills. It makes it challenging to find activities to reach each child where they are academically. When you walk into my room you will hear a gentle hum of learning with a side of laughter!
My Project
Science is one of my favorite subjects, yet one, that often gets slid under the rug, as it is not a tested area. I look forward to Science time every day in our classroom, as we engage and explore into so many topics! The materials requested will allow my students to explore science through interaction! Having a strong lesson and discussion about a science topic is essential. Pair that with a great hands-on activity, and there you have it, imagination and creativity sparks are flying. My kiddos will be able to journal their observations and learn how to draw conclusions from what they are experiencing. They will be able to move from hearing and seeing Science to creating their own science experiences! I am excited to see the enhanced interest these supplies will create in our class!
