My Project

I want to give my students opportunities to build, explore, and grow and individuals. The legos will help them with creativity but I also plan to use it as a calming and grounding activity at the end of our day. I also wanted to subscribe to a magazine to add to the variety of text in our library. Additionally, we need organizational materials such as bins and paper trays to keep our work neat and orderly. These are just some tools that were missing in my classroom that can make the student experience much more fun, engaging, and functional.
