My Project

Classrooms are filled with diverse learners. To provide a rich and rigorous experience for all students, they require access to diverse ways of understanding text. Providing tools such as crayons, markers, and card stock are ways to build hands-on experiences for students, so they can draw about what they have read, thus communicating what they know and have learned about a text. In order to successfully implement these strategies, essential tools are required.

The more students are engaged in their learning process, the more they can take responsibility for their learning.

These supplies may seem simple, but they are necessary for the day-to-day learning for student success.
