My Project

My goal is to create a space that my students can utilize when we work on class projects that is more geared towards the hands-on creative learner. We try very hard to encourage all types of learning styles in our classroom so that all students can find joy and engage in learning. I feel strongly that having a creative station to aid in these types of learning activities will allow these types of learners to gain a deeper understanding of content knowledge than they might in a typical classroom exercise.
