My Project
Books! 3D Models! Maps! and Math Games! I am building a classroom environment that emphasizes wonder and exploration. Students in 3rd grade are curious about the world around them. They want to know how the world works and to test their theories.
The students in my classroom come together to make up a wide and beautiful array of different cultures, languages, and backgrounds.
Many of my students are refugees from war-torn countries, and most are from a low socioeconomic background. While they do not all look or sound the same, they are eager to learn and engage with the world around them. They are learning about each other and how to navigate their social world. Every day we work toward building empathy and self-awareness as we delve deeply into our knowledge-based reading curriculum.
The wall maps and world atlas will support our reading units about animal habitats, Native Americans, and Early Explorers. The 3D Solar System model will support our unit on Space Exploration and the Solar System. Students will write about their discoveries and observations in their composition books. We will use the anchor chart paper for review, group projects, and keeping track of content we are learning. Students will enjoy the picture books independently or as a whole class read aloud. They will engage with a diverse group of characters while identifying with similar feelings or experiences. Learning and empathy go hand-in-hand, and the literature will help build understanding.
Funding from this project will help me build a classroom environment that ignites the joy of learning for my current and future students. Thank you so much for your time and attention to this project.
More than half of students from low‑income households
