I have been teaching third graders for 15 years and I can't imagine any group of children that is more accepting and willing to try new ideas than eight and nine-year-olds. These kids come to school eager to learn and ready to work. It is my responsibility to capitalize on that and help take them as far as they can go with the kind of magical experiences that you only get to have as a child.
My students bring so much creativity and imagination to their work.
I'm excited to help them build on that and create lasting experiences they will take with them and to foster the love of learning we have built together.
My Project
My team creates the most magical experience for our third graders. We read fantasy stories, focusing on the world famous Harry Potter series. We show students that reading can be magical. We are immersed in reading, writing, and experimenting in the fantasy world. The resources I've requested will help the students to be more engaged during the week.
Each student will receive their own house t-shirt to color, as well be able to dissect an owl pellet during "Care of Magical Creatures." Students will use the glass vials to create potions during Potions Classes from various professors.
The Harry Potter banners will help to transform classrooms into a world of wonder and awe. This donation will mean so much to us. Students come back years later saying they still have their wands and that this was one of their favorite parts of school. It warms my heart to know that it means so much to them.
