My Project

My scholars are so intrigued about learning, I would like to send my scholars on a trip through time land where my scholars can step into the shoes of people who lived long ago. With your help i will be able ti make this happen.

I am requesting two VR headsets which will help me scaffold lessons using visual and auditory learning to close the gaps in learning.

Class VR will help my scholars experience American History firsthand - all from the safety of our classroom.

Opportunity for exploring The Californian Gold Rush, American Civil War, Railroad, Declaration of Independence and more.
