  • Hands on STEAM for Busy Minds and Busy Hands

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    The different puzzles and STEM activities that were provided in this project helped my students learn about electrical circuits and problem solving in a fund and interactive way.

    The materials also fostered natural opportunities for students to interact with one another and practice social skills and build a sense of teamwork in the classroom.

    The materials helped students be creative and find new approaches to solving a problem and allowed them to practice patience and the ability to ask questions when needing help.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Zakimi

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and one other donor.

  • Entrepreneur Based Learning

    Funded Feb 1, 2022

    It has been about 2 years since this project was funded. Since then, my students have been able to learn a variety of skills when working on our classroom business of selling ice cream.

    My students have been able to learn functional reading comprehension and functional math skills along with learning how to follow step by step directions when using recipes.

    My students were able to increase their knowledge of money skills and budgeting. They were able to interact with staff outside of their department. Overall this project has helped me to undergo other classroom business to help teach my students with special needs functional life skills.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Zakimi

Students learn a variety of subjects including mathematics, science, and English language arts. Entrepreneur Based Learning is an opportunity for our students to apply different skill sets in a real world experience. Students will be able to take charge of a class business. They will participate in different roles such as accounting, marketing, product management, and health and sanitation to further develop the skills they are learning in class. We are taking academic concepts and shaping them into applied learning projects that can help students be engaged and accountable for their learning. Having a specific purpose in a class business gives each student responsibility that helps to model future career opportunities. Making ice cream is the product, but the project is student learning and development in real world applications. Through this project, students can learn how to apply mathematical concepts dealing with fractions, percentages, and statistics. Students will learn the science of chemical and physical states of change, health and proper sanitation. Social skill development will happen through project proposals and interviewing skills. English Language and Arts growth will occur through resume building and creation of posters and advertisements. One of the most important factors is helping the students learn how to work together and to find individual strengths that they have and can continue to enjoy developing beyond the classroom.
