My Project

My goal for this project is to provide my classroom with the necessary materials to help increase my ability to support Social Emotional Learning. These markers, crayons, and other specific items are things that I have been lacking in the classroom for a long time due to lack of funding, and now with the ability to possibly receive these items, it opens to door to introducing projects into the classroom. I love having students working together to create something that they can reflect on and learn from, that other students in the future can also use as an example.

My goal for this project is to find ways to continue making my classroom a safe space for students.

My students are special because every day they go outside to provide for the animals in their care at our school. This project can help make inside learning just as enjoyable as outside learning. The items I have selected will help provide students with learning material that allows them to have the freedom to choose how they wish to present the material they have learned.

Choice can positively affect students, therefore I wish to be able to provide the materials that they may need in order to accomplish this goal and grow even more into young adults.
