My Students

With all the demands of the ELA and Math Exams, Social Studies. is disappearing! My class is looking to incorporate historical concepts and activities into literacy! We've requested Social Studies artifacts kits for Native American, Explorers and Revolution units, as well as organizational tools to manage the kits!

My students live in the big city but have seldom venture out of their neighborhood.

My school strives to incorporate field trips in the city to explore our unique and diverse histories. My students are eager to learn more, experience new people and places, but also to learn from the many voices that make up our country's history!

My Project

I am requesting a variety of history activities and learning tools that will help my students create connections between the social studies content and the literacy skills they are developing daily. Through games and object analysis students will become engaged in learning about history! Additionally, organizational resources will help these history tools be prominently displayed for students to make connections throughout the day, through a variety of subject areas.

In helping my students connect with history throughout the every day learning experience, they will learn not only to hear the voices of people from our country's past, but find new ways to make their own voices heard!
