My Project

The students in my classroom will use these supplies to enhance their every day learning. The sharpies and chart paper will provide the tools for their creativity and knowledge to be shown during our units of inquiry. My students now, and for years to come, will be able to use the seats in our flexible learning space. As independent learners, the pencil sharpener and stapler will be used by students who are doing their classroom job or someone who is turning their work in.

The students in my classroom come from a variety of backgrounds.

They are becoming global citizens as they learn about the world around them during our units of inquiry. It is very important that they have the tools they need to be able to access their learning. I often have students who don't have headphones to use during our learning or assessment time. It's important to have quality headphones so that they can be on the same page as the other students in the class.
