My Project

I'd like enhance our 5th-grade American history curriculum through high-interest, non-fiction books. These resources will serve a dual purpose: enriching our students' understanding of American history and providing excellent models for informational writing. These books are written in kid-friendly language, making complex historical concepts accessible and engaging for our young learners.

By investing in physical books, we not only provide reliable sources of information but also encourage reduced screen time, promoting focused reading and deeper engagement with the material.

In addition to the books, we are also requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to supplement our curriculum with high-quality, engaging projects. By providing these valuable resources, you'll be investing in the educational foundation of our future citizens, helping them develop a deeper appreciation for our nation's rich history and the skills needed to articulate their knowledge effectively.
