My Students

L. Elementary School consists of students in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. Our students at L. School are respectful, kind, eager, and easily excited. They love hands on learning experiences and enjoy when fun and engaging learning experiences are created.

My Project

Classroom transformations are so much fun for students and they get so engaged that they don’t even realize that they are learning. We typically do a transformation during our most rigorous content! They stay focused the entire time and truly learn so much! These materials will be used to transform the reading center into a red carpet runway for working on describing characters. The glow day materials will be used for practicing many literacy centers in glow fashion. The room transformation and activities will be used school wide for approximately 500 students.
