My Students
I teach five classes of amazing students who have a huge passion for learning. I teach three classes of fifth-grade math, one class of sixth-grade reading, and one class of sixth-grade ELA. We have a blast applying our skills through completing projects. They are all so creative!
My Project
My project is designing, measuring, building, and running taco trucks. The students will also create their own menus and take orders from other students and me. This project reviews measurement, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, angles, three-dimensional figures, money, adding, subtracting, multiplying whole numbers and decimals, and real-world math skills. We will end our unit with a taco truck tasting where students bring samples of one of their taco truck menu items for their homeroom to try. This project-based learning activity focuses on pushing students to create and design while using math skills, applying problem-solving skills, and collaborating with their classmates. The resources I’ve chosen for this grant are card stock to build the taco trucks out of, hot glue guns and hot glue to glue them together, a colored printer to print out taco truck pieces, graphics, accessories, and menus, markers for creating the graphics and names of their trucks, paint and paintbrushes to paint them, a circle punch for wheels, and a Polaroid and film to capture them with their designs to take home with them. I hope you can see my vision! Thank you for this opportunity and for taking the time to consider my project.
