My Students

I have an amazing class of students. We love learning together My students are artistic, creative, love to read, and love to learn and teach each other new things.

We are a class of learners.

My class loves to spend time reading and learning everyday. They have a wide range of abilities and talents that makes coming to school everyday fun.

We are part of a large and amazing K-5 school. Students are always finding ways to help each other and the community. Staff and students make our school a fabulous place to learn and grow.

My Project

I am hoping to add activities that build our brains, let us collaborate, and interact with each as we come into class each day. School can be hard for kids and having a non-threatening way to start the day reduces anxiety many students deal with.

The materials will allow my students to create and build with a variety of materials, like Legos, K'Nex and other fun manipulatives.

There are also games that help students use logic to solve puzzles.

Students want to have time to interact and talk with each other. This project will allow them to talk and think and build all at the same time.
