This project has been a success in the past years and I would love to continue it. One of my all-time favorite books is Fish! by Stephen C. Lundin. The book focuses on play and making someone's day, among other things. A quote from the book says, "Making someone's day means going out of your way to create memories that make a difference." This fish philosophy can be applied easily to education and learning.
I want to spark a passion for learning, and I can do this by incorporating play into our lessons.
This project will help my students learn skills through thematic activities. A couple of ideas I have that will utilize the props and dress-up items I am asking for are...
1. Students will learn and apply their fraction skills by solving real-world problems using recipes. To do this we will need chef hats and table cloths to play the part.
2. We can also review 4th-grade math skills at the end of the year with a boot camp. To play the part, we will need camouflaged bandanas and necklaces for dog tags. We need the 3D filament to create our own dog tag with our 3D printer.
Thank you for your consideration in supporting our classroom and making learning come alive.
