My Project

I have a goal to align the Hawaii Common Core State Standards with Project-Based and Place-Based hands-on learning experiences. Students are immersed in creative and motivating student driven learning as individuals, small groups and whole class lessons. These purchases will address curriculum areas including English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math and Science. We will use the karaoke speaker and microphones to work on whole group performance-based reading fluency, application of phonemic awareness, and speaking and listening skills during classroom presentations. These are all 5th grade common core state standards 5.RF.3, 5.RF.4 and 5.SL.3. We have designed and planned a classroom aquatic pond project as well as a community of learners' garden to apply what we have learned in our Life Science studies. These are also life skills for the future should our students elect to have a sustainable garden at their home. We are moving into Earth and Space and will study the solar system. Additional Speaking and Listening opportunities will be included with Readers Theater experiences. The students will be using the journaling prompts daily for morning writing opportunities. These lessons will be accessible by students with differentiated levels of ability. Engagement is essential to maintain a student's learning interests. The items requested specifically address alignment of kinesthetic learning opportunities for maximum participation. Thank you for the consideration and support of our students.
