My Project

After being a teacher for almost 20 years, I have come to realize what gets students motivated to learn. A hands on approach to learning, an organized classroom/teacher and incentives. I plan to use the microscopes to show my students things that lie beneath the surface of what we can see with the naked eye. The label maker and accessories will help me to keep organized and I also plan on using it to label objects to help my EL learners. The incentives will be used to encourage good behavior.
