My Project

I currently have a some building sets in my classroom, but would love to give my students more variety.

My students love building with our magnetic tiles, so giving them more tiles will allow them to build even more!!

I try really hard to get materials (games, books, & flexible seating) that my current students will take interest in.

These magnetic tiles will also help them build up their teamwork skills & will motivate them to think outside the box. The possibilities they can create are endless! I also put some magnet people and animals.

My project includes a few literacy & math games that help make learning fun. For example, my students will use the BubbleBrix number pop-its to create addition and subtraction equations during math. It is a fun way to reward them for solving the equations correctly.

I use the polaroid film in my classroom to take pictures of students on their birthday. I then include them in a handmade card. This allows students to share their classroom birthday celebration with their families & helps build the connection between home and school.

The shelves are going to house our large book character stuffed animal collection. My students love reading with book buddies, but we are running out of space to store them. I also think the shelves will allow students to see all of them better and will give them more choice.
