February Climate & Culture Class Activity
- During the month of February we would like you to implement a student inspired lesson.
- The lesson needs to have an academic focus but could be a game, an experiment, or a hands-on discovery lesson.
- Students can make suggestions on what they would like to, the teacher compiles all ideas, and the students vote on which idea they like best.
- The students then plans that lesson to be completed anytime during the month of February.
- The most important part of creating the activity is to have the students brainstorm their ideas and make suggestions.
Student Goal Setting:
- Add to the Student Goal Folder
- Students will reference these goals during student led conferences on 3/21/24
