Hands-On Creativity With Teamwork

Help me give my students opportunities to build and create with hands-on tools, such as wooden planks, board games and Squigz. These tools will help strengthen teamwork and problem-solving skills with group work in new stadium seats.

My Students

Our class is full of second-graders that love to engage and challenge each other. They come to school excited to see each other, ready to share, and explore learning.

Our class focuses on building relationships and partnering with peers to see learning from different perspectives.

We work hard to understand our different experiences and background which gives us all an opportunity to learn from each other. We love to communicate with each other and ask questions. The best part is when we notice the learning and celebrate together.

My Project

Each morning, we begin with a soft start to promote building relationships with our team and to prepare for the day. In order to accomplish the best mindset for learning, I’m requesting high-interest and engaging activities to provide for my kids. The Squigz, ShapeMags, Wooden Planks, Cogs Gears and Brain Flakes are just a few of the requested hands-on tools that will bring excitement to all second-graders in our class to work together to build and create. The strategy games help kids get their brains ready and allot for teamwork. These activities help kids strengthen their relationships with each other and build good communication skills. The kids will enjoy sitting in the cozy stadium seats and stools to work in groups, and help problem-solve while working together.

By beginning our day with a positive, hands-on experience, the mood and mindset for learning will be achieved.

Our team will be ready to work together, help one another, and reach academic goals each day. We are excited to have these items to broaden our experiences.
