My Students

All the students come from all kinds of backgrounds. My students are driven and are always curious to learn more. We are a choice school so the parents choose to have their child attend our school. I have some students that are shy but I know that they want to participate in everything that we do. I want my classroom to be a calm, inviting place where all children feel welcome and feel comfortable enough to participate in group discussions.

My Project

The two materials that I am requesting will help my students in several different ways. The QBall will make class conversations more fun even for those reserved students. It is a throw-able microphone. The Eggspert is a fun way to review as groups or individually in a small group. It will turn any review into a game. Learning should be a fun and engaging for all the students regardless of the way that they feel. Games and movement help students to be themselves and really show what they know. I am happy that these products can be used in several ways in the classroom.
