My Students

My third grade class is full of energy and enthusiasm. My students come to school every morning with a variety of emotional and academics challenges. I am constantly inspired by their perseverance and commitment to learning. My students have been away from the classroom for almost an entire year. As we are getting used to being back in the classroom, I want to provide fun activities for the students while keeping them safe.

My Project

My students have been out of the classroom for almost a year. They have spent a majority of their time in front of iPads. We are working on rebuilding community with hands on activities. Because we can only have so many students working together I want to to have a large variety of activities for them to choose from so they can spread out. My students love to build and they get so excited when they have a chance to use new materials and show their creativity in different ways.
