Big Ideas Call For Even Bigger Post-It Notes!

Help me give my students the ability to work collaboratively while social distancing. I've been on maternity leave and want to give them the opportunity to be artistic/collaborative, which they haven't had so far this year.

My Students

I teach World History to a very diverse group of 9th and 10th Graders. As you can imagine, coming off of two years of remote learning has been a difficult transition for them and many of them are struggling. Many of them did not have access to a laptop or wifi and were essentially unable to participate in school. Many dealt with food scarcity, losing their homes, and trying to help their families get through.

Even with all they've been through recently, they are excited to be back in the building creating relationships with their peers and teachers.

Their resilience is undeniable! I want to make learning as fun as possible for them this year and really need the resources to do so.

My Project

So, I've been on maternity leave and I know that all my kids have done so far this year is read and write. There has been NO group work. So imagine being a 9th grader stuck in your seat all day reading about Ancient History and then writing an essay. Are you sleeping yet? Ok. Well these giant post-it note things will allow me to do the art projects/group work that the kids LOVE to do in class, while maintaining social distancing. I don't allow stick figures, so seeing the pictures they draw in a couple months will be well worth your money ;)
