Community Project

The theme of community came at a perfect time for Room 122. My students have huge hearts and when they heard that their former P.E. teacher’s new school lacked basic equipment they wanted to help. I worked with their Library teacher to come up with a Design Thinking project that would allow the students to collaboratively think of creative solutions to help their former teacher. Many of them had come up with crowdfunding as a way to help during the ideation process.

When they found out that Classroom Champions had donated money they were ecstatic. Then they spent some time on the computers and Baks searching for the best way they could spend the money. During this time I interviewed the students to give testimonials about this project and what community means to them. We couldn’t have done this without all the help and support from Classroom Champions, our mentor Tyler Carter and Bak.
