My Project

The students in our classroom enjoy picking new classroom jobs at the beginning of the week. It gives them some purpose in the class and helps build leadership in each student. One job consists of helping to clean up the classroom, wipe down tables at the end of the day, and erase charts. Therefore, we regularly use multiple wipes throughout the day.

My class enjoys writing and sharing their work with each other and with the teachers.

We use several items, activities, and games that require us to laminate and/or use page covers for multiple uses throughout not only the day/unit but also through the school year. This builds confidence within each student.

This is a hardworking group of students who love coming to school each day. Whether they are excited about picking different greetings in the morning, using different materials to learn, or simply by just sharing and building friendships, it makes our hearts happy each day.
