My Project

In order to maintain a productive and interesting history class, all of these things will make it a breeze. COVID-19 really impacted my students and they aren't focused unless it is interesting. All of these things will allow my students to remain productive in class and have fun while doing it. I also have a class store and many of these things will excite my students and push them to come to school every day and be engaged while learning social studies. I make everything exciting so we can get through our year and academically grow. We have a student store in my classroom to promote academic and behavioral achievement. Also, classroom jobs require the printing and cutting of funds for our store, running the store monthly, and maintaining inventory.
