FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Perkins's classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

My Project

Studies have shown that hands-on learning is better for students by improving academic performance, increasing motivation and engagement, enhancing problem-solving and critical skills, retaining knowledge of the subject, and can help with teamwork, and communication - all skills vitally needed in today's workforce.

Items in my cart include:

~Personal Finance Doodle Notes: This is a resource that will help students retain vital personal finance topics as they are taught.

~ Teaching Graphic Design: This resource will help bring up-to-date projects to the class.

~ The Lego Neighborhood Book: This resource will help students learn about design elements by allowing them to create them.

~ Lego Classic Creative Brick Box: These boxes of Legos will allow the students to create a Lego neighborhood.

~ $100 Gift Card for Educational Resources on TPT: This gift card will be used to purchase lesson plans and projects for students to complete throughout the year.
