My Project

The resources in this project will be used during our MicroSociety time. Our school has a MicroSociety theme where students create small business' called "Ventures" within their individual classrooms. The theme for my class' MicroSociety Venture is Science and STEM! I'm finding that this year my students absolutely love playing and creating items with Playdough! My students plan to create animals with the play dough within their venture. Students will also use the whiteboard sleeves to write three facts about the animal that they have created with Playdough. Thank you so much for supporting my classroom!
