My Project

My students are creative and hard-working third graders who are eager to learn in an engaging and fun way. They come to school every day with a positive outlook and a smile on their face. My students love hands-on, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions.

I would love to give them more choices each day to enhance their learning and enrich their knowledge.

These bouncy balls, Legos, and other activities will allow them to collaborate and synergize with their peers. I plan to use the materials every day in my classroom. As the students come in each morning, they will select a morning choice STEAM activity to get their creativity flowing. Students will be able to choose from a variety of activities. They can explore, build, challenge themselves, or be creative with art supplies.

Morning Choice activities foster a growth mindset, challenge students to try new things, and excite them to come to school every day.

With morning choice activities, students are truly engaged and in charge of their learning.
