Mr. Dedrick Smith David T Howard Middle School

Atlanta, GA Grades 6-8

My Project

I love how creative, curious, and expressive my students are. They bring energy and unique ideas into the classroom every day, and they thrive when given opportunities to learn in hands-on, meaningful ways. Many of my students learn best by doing by creating, designing, and actively engaging with the content rather than just reading or listening.

The resources in this project will give them the tools they need to fully express their thinking and creativity.

Scissors and a paper cutter will allow students to safely and efficiently prepare materials for projects. Colored paper will add vibrancy and help organize ideas visually. Colored pencils will give students the ability to illustrate, label, and personalize their work, making their learning more engaging and memorable.

With these supplies, my students will be able to take ownership of their learning, collaborate with peers, and create projects they are truly proud of.
