My Project

Middle school is all about learning to get along with others. Drama class in middle school assists in this task by having students work together in collaborative groups to create projects. This is the fifth year that I've taught this class, and so many of my items that I have collected for my students are pretty shabby at this point. We use all of these items daily in the classroom on our creations. We collaborate with big white boards, we contribute to classroom discussions and ideas using index cards and folders, we create projects with colored pencils and sharpies.

Lastly, the tissues and hand sanitizer will hopefully help keep my students and myself germ free while we are working on our collaborations!
