My Project

My third graders are naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them. They thrive when given opportunities to explore subjects in engaging and interactive ways. Many of them benefit from hands-on and visual learning experiences, and this project will provide an opportunity for every student to shine—whether through reading, writing, or artistic expression. We will be learning about historical figures in our Famous American Research project. We need new biography books and art supplies to help my third-grade students learn about famous Americans who have shaped our history.

With these materials, my students will engage in an in-depth study of influential figures and create biography file folders, posters, and artwork that showcase their learning.

This hands-on approach will deepen their understanding, foster creativity, and make history come alive in our classroom. By supporting this project, you will help bring history to life for my students, making learning exciting, meaningful, and memorable. Thank you for considering this request and for your support in fostering a love of history, reading, and creativity in young learners.
