My Project

As the school year end approaches, I want to end the year with my students receiving snacks as we embark upon our closing of the school year group talks. I want to provide my groups with snacks as we go outside in our groups to discuss in depth our curriculum “When I Grow Up”. We will also discuss careers, colleges, summer plans, this year’s experiences, the hardest subjects, and open topics about the next grade level. The students love going outside as if we were on a picnic to talk and enjoy nature and conversations.
