My Students

My fourth-grade class has 32 students in it. My students are eager to learn, enjoy school and are motivated to succeed. They love to use their imagination and grow as learners. We are a large school with over 1,000 students. We are a Title I school and all the students in my school all receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of the students in my school are English as Second Language learners. We have many different languages spoken in my school. My students come to school with big smiles and are ready to learn and achieve great things!

My Project

My students will be studying American history this year. It is important to be able to supplement the text book with fiction and non fiction texts to help my students understand the events of long ago. It is so hard for them to visualize a world without the internet or iPhones and computers. Having books with pictures helps them to understand these events. The primary sources give my student access to important historical documents so that they can examine what happened long ago.

Help us travel back in time and learn all about the people of the past.

Social studies is a great place for student to practice their reading and writing skills. We can write reports and read books and discuss them with our partners. Help make history come alive.
