My students need a designated space for small group instruction (Kidney Table) as well as the technology needed to make whole-group instruction both accessible and effortless (IPEVO Document Camera).
My students are shy and outgoing, timid and strong. They are genuine and whimsical, brave and careful. My class is charming and challenging, ornery and kind.
Most importantly, each and every student in my 3rd-grade classroom is different.
The diverse population of personalities breeds multiple educational preferences that I strive to identify in our lessons every day. My students' diversity is what makes them exceptional, but it is also my greatest challenge.
Various small-group and whole-group instruction strategies are utilized every day in order to reach all the students in my classroom. My students are eager to have a collaborative space for small group instruction as well as the tools to make working together as a whole class accessible and effortless.
My Project
The Kidney Table will provide a dedicated space for small-group instruction in our classroom. Students will gather around the Kidney Table in organized groups allowing us to focus on areas of struggle as well as challenge areas of strength to develop and expand upon the knowledge of each student. The IPEVO Document Camera will be the technological tool used to implement visual aids during whole-group instruction. This tool will help increase engagement in whole-group setting.
Utilizing various instructional tools will help target the educational needs in our classroom.
My students deserve access to the best education I can provide to them. Given these tools, my students will be provided the opportunity to learn according to their individual needs and preferences.
