Learning with Creativity

Ms. Cornelius’s World Geography students explored human geography and forms of government by building scenes with gummy bears—mixing fun with learning!

In a sweet twist on learning, Ms. Cornelius’s World Geography class turned gummy bears into world leaders, citizens, and decision-makers to better understand different forms of government. As part of their study of human geography, students built miniature “societies” that reflected how power and leadership can look across the globe.

From monarchies to democracies, gummy bear groups helped students visualize how government systems work—and the colorful characters made the lesson both memorable and delicious.

The classroom was full of laughter and energy as students designed their gummy bear governments and then enjoyed a well-earned snack. This hands-on approach not only brought abstract concepts to life but also showed the creativity and enthusiasm of Chippewa’s learners.

It’s lessons like these that spark curiosity, encourage deeper understanding, and remind students that learning can be both meaningful and fun!
