My Project
My third and fourth-grade students go through a unit of study on economics and STEAM that we use throughout the year across subject areas. I would like to use a marketplace-type setting to reinforce these concepts through earned rewards. Concepts concerning budgeting, using limited resources, opportunity costs and needs versus wants will be considered. Students will purchase rewards based on credits earned from showing a strong work ethic in class. These credits can be redeemed in our marketplace for needed items or wants such as game time, telescope check out or makerspace materials for creating.
We are in need of telescopes that increase exposure to the science element of STEAM.
Students can earn the opportunity to check out the telescopes to take home for the week. Tangramino will all students to think spatially and creatively and will be a fun activity the children might choose as a reward. We always can use paper bags and glue guns in the makerspace portion of our marketplace.
My learners will have opportunities to explore materials that infuse art, science, engineering, math, technology, and lessons that develop a growth mindset.
The future engineers, architects, scientists, artists and economists are in my room and ready to begin.
