Paws Students Changing the World

Help me give my students a better work station for their projects. I would like to give them supplies needed to complete and organize their thoughts and inventions to build confidence while sharing their knowledge across grade levels.

My Project

In the PAWS Classes (the advanced class at Glenallen), we follow the Enrich Curriculum as well as created projects across the curriculum. These supplies would afford the students the ability to create a more finished project for them to be proud of.

One project is to create a travel adventure anywhere they would like to go.

The students complete research and create passports, budgets, brochures, maps and a trifold to aid in presenting their project.

Another project is to choose a career and where they would like to live. Again, this is complete with graphics, created maps, budgets and again presented to multiple classes across grade levels.

These projects, with the correct supplies, offer students knowledge as well as confidence.
