My Project

My students like to listen, learn, and lead within our classroom. They are fun, energetic, hard working, and are eager to learn about new things within their environment and everyday life.

My students love learning about plants, rocks and soil, insects, animals, weather, force and motion, animals, and the solar system in engaging and hands on learning.

My students will use the complete set of Lakeshore Learning Science Activity Tubs everyday. The tubs have 320 activity cards that will help my students get into the depth of learning. The tubs also contain science tools, write and wipe experiment posters, and vocabulary cards that will their our learning to a higher level. With these tubs, my students will be able to participate in science activities and they can listen and learn from others ideas.
