  • Preferential Seating Pillow Cases!

    Funded Mar 20, 2018

    Thank you all so very much for your donation to my classroom! I have always believed that a classroom should be a place where the students come to learn, have fun, and that also feels like home.

    This year in order to help me achieve that atmosphere I wanted to have these historically themed pillowcases for my students to use! I am so pleased to say that the students loved them! The more comfortable they feel in the classroom the more focused they can be on their classwork!

    Thank you all again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Bryant

  • "What if Hitler Won?": Help Me Face the Tough Questions

    Funded Mar 1, 2018

    I want to sincerely thank you for your part in helping my class receive a class set of the book "The Only Thing to Fear" by Caroline Richmond. This is the first time I ever did a novel study in my class and thanks to your wonderful donations it went over magnificently. We started this book study by going over the history and legacy of World War II, which includes Hitler and the Holocaust. Once the introduction part of the lesson concluded, as always a student asked me; "What would the world be like if Hitler had won?" This is where we started to dive into the book study.

    As a class we discussed Hitler and the despicable plan he wanted to try and achieve. When then began to read two chapters a day of "The Only Thing to Fear" with discussion questions at the end of two chapters. Also each chapter we discussed the realistic aspects of the book and the fantasy aspects of the book.

    As we concluded the book study the students thoroughly enjoyed looking at a scary alternate reality that could have been. They also walked away with a new appreciation for the world they live in today, and realized that not all books about history (even an alternate history) have to be boring.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Bryant

"Ms. Bryant, what if Hitler had won the war?" In all my years of teaching this is the question that is most commonly asked by my 7th graders. In my social studies class I often try to bring history to life. By either dressing up as Marie Antoinette and passing out cake to the nobles, creating student made replicas of trench warfare during WW1, or staging a simulation of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it is easy to re-enact what has already happened. However, it is less easy to answer the "What If" questions. "The Only Thing to Fear" captures the answer to the often asked: "What if Hitler would have won World War II, what would the world look like?" Caroline Richmond uses historical facts and merges it so well with historical fiction to take the reader on a journey through an alternate reality. Forcing the reader to analyze the importance of the decisions that were made during World War II that led to an Allied victory, while taking a glimpse at a history that could have been. I believe it is important to not only just teach the students what happened in the past but what could have also been our future. The yoga mats also give the students a preferred seating choice as they prepare to have a very difficult, but often asked question finally answered.
