In order for my students to keep up with the speed of other schools, we have to be creative in what we do. We only have an hour or so with each class, so time is of the essence. My students do a lot of hands-on this year, therefore we will be printing a lot of material in the classroom and doing different projects that require using markers, pencils. pencil sharpener, erasers, etc. We will also be prepping for the 5th-grade Benchmark test and could use the material to enhance our learning. In order for each student to get called upon we use popsicle sticks to call and eliminate them. These materials will make a difference in my student's learning because it's hands-on and everything would be in the classroom in arms reach. We are praying for a successful school year with the help and support of Donors as we progress! We can all benefit from Science!
