My Project
I have had great luck teaching only the most curious bc hard working students.
I’d like this diverse body of students many of whom have a variety of experience to experience the 19th century Battle Field from Paul Fleischman’s masterful pen in his award winning novel Bull Run.
I have been teaching twenty years and I can honestly say the class of 2030 is a capable and grateful group of young peoples.

I wanna make My us History students know what’s up
