My Project

This year, I noticed that my students love the opportunity to show their creativity, whether it be through drawing or any type of project. They also love playing games. They enjoy doing these types of activities more so because of having to have been online for the first couple of years due to COVID.

By providing the items in this project, I will help my students to grow and improve academically and socially.

Through this project, I want to give my students multiple outlets to show their growth emotionally and socially. By providing the books for my book study, I will give them a chance to work with partners and/or groups. The board games and outdoor equipment will help them mingle and play with other students promoting positive relationships with one another. Lastly, the art supplies like oil pastels and craft kits, will help them to express themselves and show their creativity amongst each other.
