My Project

This is actually my first time teaching this grade level of students. I am both thrilled and honored to get to know all of my students while allowing them to get to know me. The materials I've chosen will be utilize to engage them into building relationships with their peers. However, in order to do so, self-awareness first, has to play an important part int their lives.

The magnetic and organizational charts as well as the few books I have chosen, will open their minds, filling them with questions about who they are.

In addition, it will also cause them to be curious about their peers and others around them.
