Help me give my students a chance to see their collaboration and creativity.

Ms. Dill Earhart Elementary Opt for Knwl School

Chicago, IL Grades 6-8

My Project

Amelia Earhart's STEAM elementary curriculum includes the 4C’s to 21st century learning skills. These skills emphasize communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Having 2 portable mobile easel boards allows students to transition to private spaces outside the classroom to collaborate with preferred peers, model with a mentor, or private one-on-one learning.

My students tend to be visual learners who need more space than a regular sheet of paper.

"It's long been known that drawing something helps a person remember it. A new study shows that drawing is superior to activities such as reading or writing because it forces the person to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and semantically .Mar 14, 2019

The Science of Drawing and Memory - Edutopiahttps://www.edutopia.org › article › "

My students struggle with working memory and short term memory. I agree with the article that states, "students want something to remember ask them to draw so that they can remember.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
