Mrs. Malugen from Springdale AR is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Economics: Building Economic Knowledge With Books and Projects!

My students need the economics based literature and project supplies (glue, foam, sequins, tissue, etc.) in order to make a real world connection to the study of economics.

My Students

As a gifted and talented facilitator, I help students from a variety of situations. Gifted and talented students are a group of kids that have a plethora of intellectual needs. My students are extremely interested in solving real world issues. They represent a wide variety of socioeconomic levels and racial/cultural diversity. They especially enjoy working in cooperative groups. The study of Economics through a plethora of resources will provide them with a multitude of such opportunities. The students of today need additional help with understanding how Economics affects all aspects of life. These resources will provide additional opportunities for understanding.

By utilizing the resources to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate, and enrich the students' understanding of real world concepts, they will gain a deeper understanding of how economics affects real world issues.

They will then use the hands-on activities to further experience the concepts. Your donations will allow my students to research, experience, and master Economics!

My Project

Throughout the study of Economics, it is imperative to incorporate a project based approach. My GT students need the opportunity to study Economics through a plethora of different experiences. After reading Twenty-One Elephants, the students will construct a bridge with toothpicks. After reading Marvelous Mattie: How Margaret E. Knight Became an Inventor, the students will use the Model Magic to create their own invention. These activities will allow the students to research the cost of the different building projects as well as the thrill of being an inventor or entrepreneur!

Students need these experiences to be fully engaged and enriched in the study of Economics.

These supplies and books will provide my students with opportunities to explain and experience real world Economics!
