My Project

The idea of owning something would make anyone smile. We, as people take pride in the things that we own. We take care of our things because we work hard to get them.

With the pencil boxes, markers, crayons, pencils, and other materials requested, my students will take on the journey of learning how to take ownership.

My goal for this project is for my students to learn how to take care of their belongings. This can be done through careful usage of materials and placing materials where they belong.

My students are special because of the talents and wisdom that they bring to the classroom each and every day. Oftentimes, they teach me a thing or two! I think that is what makes the learning experience so special!
