Help me give my students a more than a worksheet way to start their day. I want the first part of my student's day to be full of choice, while also providing structure.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds. We are a unique school being that we are title one, as well as a magnet school. Each student comes to school to learn, and my goal is for them to love literacy, realizing that books take people on adventures,which can be translated to any part of their learning . My students are funny, lovable, and cherish each day in my class. In a technology driven society, I love to hear,"Ms.B, whats up next on your reading list?"
Creating a safe, fun, and caring environment is always my number one goal as an educator.
When students come in to a loving and nurturing environment, learning flows naturally. Students form learning partners, know that they are safe, and a community is formed. It is integral that students feel loved and safe, as it sets the stage for a classroom conducive to learning, which naturally lends itself to a well managed classroom.
My students are amazingly unique, make me laugh, see the good in situations, strive for more, accept their mistakes, and know that learning is a beautiful journey. My students, past and present are such gifts to me,and all who meet them.
My Project
My students have never come to me excited about a worksheet they have completed for morning work. As an educator, I know worksheets do not allow my students to create, become independent, critical thinkers which they will be asked to do on test and apply in real world situations.
Creating each student a STEM bin would allow student to express what they learned the previous day with manipulative, or more importantly students can take time to become completely in control of expressing themselves without a phonics worksheet or fluency check to start their day.
Worksheets are yesterday! My goal in this is to give my students a chance to step into the classroom with a heart to create, solve problems, and become independent, intrinsic learners for morning work.
