My Project

Sharing hot chocolate, apple cider, and cookies can foster a sense of community and belonging among students. It creates an opportunity for positive social interactions, which can be crucial for emotional well-being. When students feel supported and connected, they are more likely to engage in their learning and participate actively in class.

Hot chocolate, rich in antioxidants and known for its comforting warmth, can be a simple yet effective way to provide a much-needed mental break, as well as, create a comfortable warm cozy atmosphere, making students feel more relaxed and open to participate.

The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate and be thankful for what we have. The sixth-grade ELA team is thankful for a strong group of students who demonstrate all the qualities of our school's core values. Having a moment in this fun learning experience will be memorable and enjoyable for my students.
