My Project

At the beginning of the year, we need to build a classroom community that will help my students feel confident and excited about the things we are going to learn together. These supplies are just the ticket. My students need the opportunity to learn through multiple modalities. With a variety of materials, like puzzles, magnetic letters, play-doh (and really cool play-doh tools) and games we will be able to expand on the learning that we do in class and deepen their thinking. I'm also requesting Kleenex, snacks and a standing coat rack so that my students can work in a clean and organized classroom. We will be focused on working together on these activities and practice their teamwork skills. Time spent working on collaborative projects is important to our collective experiences.

The STEM activities and the classroom rug will bring my students so much joy.

It's great for practicing our teamwork, small motor movement, patience, and persistence. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity!
