My Project
My students are incredibly curious and creative 4th graders. I see them engaged in critical thinking and problem solving. By having access to a variety of engineering-focused activities, my students will develop their creativity and critical thinking skills.
"You can't use up creativity; the more you use, the more you have"-- Maya Angelou.
For this project, I have requested 7 beautiful mini puzzles and paint-by-sticker books for every student (which are basically like many puzzles). By doing these puzzles, we will continue to develop strategy and teamwork and build a stronger classroom community. I plan to use the smaller puzzles at the beginning of the day to promote collaboration at our tables--I think it will be the perfect, very engaging, short-term project for my students. The sticker books will be used during our Classroom Economy time or when we are listening to our chapter book read aloud.
My students have so much passion for learning and for creating--we need more opportunities to expand our perspectives and our creativity. These puzzles will stretch their imaginations and their critical thinking skills. Help us engineer great brain power! Thank you for considering donating to our project!
