In our classroom, students are given 15-20 minutes daily to pursue personal interests. Students are expected to show evidence of their personal endeavors on a daily basis. Their interests often lead to maker oriented products such as presentations, drawings, and assembled objects.
Recently, a group of students decided they would like to do something about the deforestation of the Rain Forest. They formed a group and came up with the idea to collect money in order to save the Rain Forest. They researched and found a valid website in which they could send donations. They wrote a letter to Principal Johnson explaining their idea. After they got his approval, they wrote and typed a message to Stony Point students. Over the loudspeaker, they read their letter and asked Stony Point students and staff for their support in helping save the rainforest. So far, they have collected nearly twenty dollars!
Below is a picture of a stand the group of students made to collect funds in the school. It is made completely of cardboard provided by the Stony Point Ispace.
