The materials in my list are not your everyday "school" materials. The locks will be used so that students will need to figure out or solve a puzzle to which will give them the correct combination to open. As for the invisible ink and black lights, these will allow me to also hide clues in a unique way and possibly have the correct answer right in-front of my students without them even realizing it. Teaching to my students this way will show them new ways to problem solve and work as a team. Building up both of these skills will help them in the future when they are faced with a difficult or new task to take on. Doing these types of review or introductory games will better my students by showing them that they can work with anyone and succeed. These activities will also show them ways to think outside the box when it comes to how learning/teaching can be done at school. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a new type of learning program.
