My Project

I will expose my students to a variety of multicultural, male and female roles as well as dismissing stereotypes that they are not able to accomplish certain goals. Having student use the social and emotional cube to prompt writings and conversations. Students use pit balls and money to understand the supply and demand as the consumer or provider. Students will print or create illustrations on chart paper represent their point of view as they present.

In all these items will promote students to think of themselves, consider others and be open to different aspects of life.

This is just a start toward college and career readiness.
