My Project

Each year, my students complete three major projects to demonstrate their learning. These materials support two of them. In our chocolate unit, students explore the history and production of chocolate tasting samples, visiting the Hershey Museum, and creating their own chocolate brand or timeline project.

In our Greek mythology unit, they study figures like Prometheus, Zeus, and Odysseus, then sculpt representations of a god or hero and their consequence.

My students bring creativity and curiosity to every project, making each one deeply personal and meaningful. Thank you for supporting us!
