My Project

Each item in this project will play a critical role in enhancing hands-on learning experiences in our classroom. The construction paper will allow my students to create crowns for our unit on kings and queens. The laminating machine will help preserve important learning materials such as word cards and student work. The books will enrich our classroom library. The craft beads will be used for hands-on activities like pattern-making and math concepts. The stapler will be crucial for assembling student work. The popcorn bowls will be used in our sensory exploration of the "five senses" unit. The Native American headdress will help bring to life our lessons on Pilgrims and Native Americans. The goals for this project will be to enhance creative expression, promote hands-on learning, foster cultural awareness, develop fine motor skills, and provide sensory learning opportunities. My kindergarten students are truly special because they come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and many face challenges outside of school. Living in Hawaii, the cost of living is high which often limits the resources available to families. As their teacher, I want to provide my students with supplies and opportunities they might not have at home. My students are resilient, creative, and eager to learn.
