My Project
My 6th Graders are future world-changers!
Curious, creative, and full of energy, my 6th graders are diving into the fascinating world of the global economy.
They’re exploring how countries trade, how products are made and moved, and how global decisions impact everyday life. This project challenges them to think critically, work collaboratively, and present big ideas in meaningful, creative ways.
To help them shine, we’re gathering a few key supplies:
*Fruit snacks and Cheez-Its to keep them energized and focused
*Glue sticks and construction paper for colorful, hands-on project displays
*Erasers to remind them that mistakes are part of the process
*Motivational bracelets to boost confidence and celebrate their efforts
These simple tools will help turn their ideas into impactful presentations—and show them that their voices matter in the global conversation.
Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping these young learners grow into thoughtful, informed global citizens!
