My Project

Students will use the laptop to research animals they self-select, places they would like to visit on virtual trips, and symbols of America they would like to learn about. These topics align with our reading program. Researching these areas will further deepen their comprehension on these topics. Learning to navigate a computer and complete research will help them become stronger students but also be great skills for a future career. The pencil sharpener will be use to sharpen the many pencils my students use on a daily basis to write down their ideas, state their research, and work on their penmanship. The pencils are always needed.
