My Project

Each year I try to do a several classroom transformations, especially when the skills we are working on become incredibly difficult or if we have a daunting task at hand. I have done these for many years. Recently, I was chosen to attend THE RON CLARK ACADEMY as a guest of the Sonic Foundation. While there I learned and observed many more ideas and rigor to add to the Classroom Transformations (it was as if I found my people lol). We are approaching the time of the school year where students are ready to "check out", but we have PLENTY of learning time left. I would like to keep the learning high and the excitement just as high through the use of Classroom Transformations.

Classroom transformations add a level of focus, engagement, and excitement to any classroom INSTANTLY!

Classroom transformations help keep the rigor high while keep ing students engaged. To complete a classroom transformation several things are need per each theme. Of course on topic, targeted, rigorous learning is needed. Most importantly, to complete a transformation decorations such as signs, back drops, ID tags , and may more items are necessary. Please help my students and I complete our classrooms transformation dreams this year.
