My Project

My students learn best when hands-on activities or projects are incorporated that let them be creative and express themselves. We work on multiple projects throughout the year that allow them to be creative and think outside the box. My goal for this project is to keep the necessary basic classroom supplies stocked and ready to go when we have a project coming up. We go through a lot of supplies throughout the course of a school year and they end up well loved and needing replaced by May or are completely depleted.

Mrs. Hays
Grades 9-12
