My Project

Students are tasked with learning about ancient history in social studies. This project provides students with materials that enable students to create artifacts found thousands of years ago. Learning about humans that existed thousands of years ago can be a difficult task. Yet I try to provide meaningful learning opportunities through the use of projects.

Students step out of the books and into an engaging world of learning.

By engaging students in hands-on learning, students are more excited to complete activities and learn content taught in class.

Project-based learning is very messy. Our school is very large. Our custodians do not often have enough time to thoroughly clean the class. Your help with this project will ensure that students can continue project-based learning.
