FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $672

My Project

My student have been cooped up in the classroom and I want to do more engaging projects with them. I want to include activities that can tie to the curriculum, but also help them to build their spatial intelligence, fine motor skills and creative abilities.

I can imagine creating art projects that tie to ancient civilizations as well as math activities that tie to the 6th grade standards.

The wire can be used to transform 2-D drawings into 3-D sculptures which incudes math and art.

I envision students exerting their leadership abilities to decorate the school and create bulletin boards if they so desire.
