My Project

I love that my students are eager to learn and explore the world around them. They are entering school with a new level of excitement and I would love to feed their eager minds through multi sensory learning.

I can sketch and make a toy from recycled material!

The materials in this project will be used for the students to explore toys, sketch, and create their own toys from recycled materials. They will read stories about toys from now and long ago, determine which they prefer. They will interview other to find out which toy others prefer and write about it.

All of this is done through reading, speaking and writing. These brilliant young students will have the opportunity to make toys with their hands and imagination from recycled material.
