My Project

Teaches students real world learning of jobs.

Helps with student organization and problem solving.

Students will lead in the classroom post office and organize papers daily for communication between school and home.

My goals for this are to teach students how to organize and show an example of a real world job in which they may find themselves in the future. While also teaching them responsibility.

Every student is special to me. In general, I feel that students are not being taught real world experiences in the classroom enough these days. My goal is to have a classroom in which students work together as a community in their class jobs just as they would in real world jobs.
