Social Studies is an important part of the day in our fifth grade classroom, probably one of the most important parts of our day. I teach my students about American history and how it is relevant to our world today. My students enjoy hands-on social studies activities, where they can experience history. My students' favorite activity, so far, was our factory assembly line simulation. During this activity, students connected their knowledge of a working environment to those factory workers during the Industrial Revolution. Students were able to grasp the concept of child labor during this simulation and connect it to the child labor laws we have today. Given our huge population of ESL students, engaging activities like this on provide a context for learning while building their language skills. The tools in this much needed project would be used in collaborative, interactive simulations like the assembly line. With the materials included in these kits, such as the writing prompts and maps, students will work in small groups to learn about the content. Each student will use the materials within the kits in rotating stations to engage with the content. For example, students will work collaboratively to label maps, read informational passages about topics in history, like the Second Continental Congress, and use money to create a British tax simulation all within the American Revolution kit. By donating to this project, you are sparking many students exploration of history. The tools in this project would help history come alive for my students. My students love the engaging social studies lessons that this project will surely provide. By funding this project, you are encouraging my students to love history!
