My Project

I teach a dynamic group of second graders! They are a joy to be with every day. My students walk into the classroom with smiles on their faces, ready to learn.

I am requesting a variety of STEAM activities for my students.

We will make tote bags with the vinyl, and we will also make our very own personalized journal. We will use the sublimation paper to print images that will be put on sublimation puzzles. We will use the Kazoos to enhance our songs for our parent performances. The Instax film will be used to capture these moments and then displayed around the classroom.

I am excited to do this project with my students.
