My Project

In fifth grade, we put an emphasis on group work and project work. At a Title I school, sometimes acquiring school supplies (especially coloring materials) isn't always possible for every student.

I want my students to have fun when creating projects and for their creativity to have no limitations.

For example, we learn about probability in math class. My students work in groups to create fun word problems that go along with their probability tree diagrams, charts, fundamental counting principles, etc. I would love for my students to be able to illustrate their probability stories and have fun doing it!
