My Project

I am a social studies teacher and one of the concepts I want to teach my students is how to build strong communities. I think students need to learn ways they can bring about change and positively impact their world.

Teaching them that we can make a difference in the world we live in is vital to making them good community members and showing them that together we can make the world a better place.

I want them to work together to create posters that will be displayed within the school to show students little things they can do to bring about change such as recycling and conserving.

Grades 3-5
