This 2011 “Maggie + Math Toy Project” was a great success on
many levels! I am thankful for the support of others who stepped up to help my
students complete the project.
Special thanks go to Mr. Brodt and the Senior Woodworking students, Mr.
Gibson for donating the paint and brushes from the art department, Mr. Becker
for being supportive and Mrs. Searcy for her positive encouragement and
enthusiasm throughout the process and for helping to film and then doing all of
the editing. As I reflect on the entire process wherein students achieved the
prescribed learning outcomes for this unit while doing something commendable
for others and the traditional classroom extended into the community, I cannot
help but smile! We proudly
presented the toys, candy canes and food hamper to the Women’s Shelter on
December 15, 2011. It has been one
of those memorable times as a teacher!
Congratulations students – well done!
