My Project

The students I have the pleasure of working with are innovative, inclusive, and scholarly! The subjects that I teach let me interact with 6th graders. They have very creative and passionate ideas that are shown through their engagement in school and their community.

The button maker would be a fun way to support our school's Arts Integration initiative as well as allow students to get creative and make their own buttons that align to their literacy curriculum.

Students could create their own button designs that demonstrate their learned knowledge on elements of propaganda. The other items would also help fill our classroom. I am going back into the classroom, after teaching ELL since 2015, so I have an empty room to fill.

Thanks for your consideration,

Mrs. Jenks
