My Students

Every day is new and different in so many ways in my classroom. I want to take my students as far as they are able to go academically by the end of second grade. I want them to be ready to enter third grade with confidence.

"No significant learning can occur without a significant connection." - Comer

Our second grade classroom consists of 22 eager-to-learn students and one enthusiastic teacher waiting to meet the needs of each of my students. My 22 students represent a diverse population with varying learning levels. Some of my students need daily intervention while others need daily enrichment. I have high expectations for each student, meeting them where they are in their life journeys and at their educational levels.

My school consists of about 1,200 students of diverse backgrounds and diverse learning abilities. We have a growing population of ELL students, students we implement interventions for in reading and math, as well as students needing enrichment to acquire success for their educational needs. Our school has an amazing administration and staff who are dedicated to meeting each of these diverse needs and providing a warm, nurturing, and respectful environment.

My Project

I would like to have three Breakout EDU kits for my classroom so that I can engage students with curriculum in a new and exciting ways. Breakout EDU kits include locked boxes, different types of locks, invisible ink, and UV flashlights. Students will have to work together in teams collaborating to solve problems, locate the next clue, and unlock the next box. Our class can utilize these kits in any subject area and multiple times for engagement and fun. This would be a wonderful new learning tool for my students to form bonds while problem solving collaboratively.

It is my hope that Breakout EDU kits will encourage my students to collaborate to problem solve and become critical thinkers together!

I feel very strongly about teaching the students in my class to form relationships with all peers, collaborate, and help each other become stronger learners while being engaged in the learning process. Breakout EDU kits would help me to encourage students in all of these areas, while also teaching them to be critical thinkers who solve problems.
