As a final project, I had all the students create a board builder. It was a challenge since the students had to work alone but I wanted them to experience looking up their evidence to support their topic in Discovery Education. Being part of the DLC has encouraged me to grow professionally by learning new things as well as sharing what I learn with others. I am going to San Diego in July as part of the DENSI 2017 and I am very excited to be on a team! I will continue to learn more about DE and share with others in the district and around the world!

This is especially helpful as Matt utilizes PBL in his classroom.

Students received prizes as well as a little playing card with their Stickman on it to memorialize their time in Matt's classroom.
