The Future Leaders of America

My Students

My students are brilliant, creative, and loving. They are children with old souls. They are helpful to each other and make sure that all children can share their virtual class experiences. I always teach my student that we have Reach One and Teach one the way to success.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my student learning each day during virtual learning. The children use their notebooks every day for English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science. Students will use the writing utensils to complete their assignments for class and homework. It is amazing to see children get the support their need in the classroom to support their learning. Materials support children to expand on their experience and use creative ways to show evidence in their work. It is amazing to see what children come up with using the materials they need for each subject to enhance learning.
