My Project

For our culminating outdoor project, we are incorporating candy and Greek-themed props to engage students in a fun, hands-on exploration of ancient Greek culture, history, and mythology. The candy will be used as a creative medium for students to reenact myths, model ancient Greek architecture, and represent various gods and goddesses and the many jobs of those in ancient Greece in a tangible way, reinforcing their learning through interactive, sensory experiences. The Greek props, such as miniature columns, laurel wreaths, and replica artifacts, will help bring the ancient world to life, providing a deeper connection to the material. By blending learning with play, my goal is to foster collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity as students work together to design and present their projects. My students are a diverse group, each bringing their unique strengths, perspectives, and enthusiasm to the classroom. They are curious, creative, and eager to connect academic concepts to real-world experiences, making them ideal participants for a project that encourages both intellectual and imaginative growth.
