My Project

My students and school are very unique. We have a variety of different cultures with each student having their own experiences and talents. My goal as a teacher and staff member is to nurture, empower and provide resources that inspire and bring out the best in my community. Unfortunately, teacher face challenges like lack of essential materials which is due to a limited budget.

My goal is to use this project to access quality resources and materials that are crucial to my students and communities' academic journey.

A TPT gift card would help with lesson planning and classroom activities that would be designed to engage my students. In addition, TPT gifts cards would help with my professional growth because it is a platform that provides opportunities to collaborate with other experienced educators. Fraction war is a great card game to help students understand and compare fractions. Many activities in this project are hands-on and good practice for my students. Pencils are essential for writing, drawing, and completing worksheets. The gel pens in this project will be used for engaging imagination. I will use gel pens to motivate students when I give them feedback on their assignments. My planners will help with classroom routines along with behavioral management and conferences. The use of pocket charts can be used to manipulate words phrases or math problems. I can also use pocket charts to assign small groups to different sections in the chart. This allows students to work on different tasks. The timers will help with management. This project will ensure adequate resources that support learning and also foster confidence in each and every student in my classroom.
