My Project

In our 4th-grade classroom, we strive to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where all students, including English language learners and those with diverse learning needs, can thrive. With new supplies like Sharpies, laminating pouches, paper, whiteboards, Expo markers, and whiteboard erasers, we will enhance our hands-on learning activities, fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

These tools will allow students to actively participate in lessons, create visual representations of their ideas, and engage in interactive learning experiences.

Laminating pouches will help preserve student work and allow for reusable activities, reducing waste and reinforcing concepts. Whiteboards and Expo markers will empower students to practice and share their thinking in real-time, while Sharpies and paper will be used for group projects, presentations, and other creative exercises.

My goals are to increase student engagement by incorporating more hands-on activities and interactive learning. I also want to support individualized learning and give students the tools they need to express themselves and work at their own pace.

My students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds, and they each bring unique perspectives and talents to our classroom. With these supplies, I can ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed and shine.
