My Project

A lot of times we always focus on the output for our children, but we need to realize that a foundation must be built in order to construct a solid structure (mind). Students need to be reminded of their focus. By using clear stands for anchor charts, students can refer back to their lessons to reinforce their comprehension. These "anchor charts" will serve as a helpful tool towards full comprehension. Once fully mastered the "anchor charts" can be removed and replace with yet another skill to master.

My wonderful students consist of different learning styles.

Some are visual and some are auditory. The ear buds will ensure that everyone has their quiet time to learn and to produce without being interrupted. As always, students need a pencil to begin the process. This needed tool allows students to scribe their ideas as well as change and create new ones.
