My Project

If we had a class model, it would probably be 'sharing is caring'. My students love to share with each other. From snacks to school supplies, they share it all. However because of their generosity towards their classmates, we often end up with materials missing.

Moving forward in our class we are planning to implement a color-coded system within each group.

This will help every group to have items unique to them in order to keep everyone happy and on task. This will also help with keeping our class materials inside of class. Each group will get their own set of markers, pencils, glue sticks, and scissors. This will help us also get another pencil sharpener!
