My Students

Our school is located in downtown Houston. We are a Title I school that serves a diverse population of eighth grade students. The school is an International Baccalaureate World school that teaches students to be globally minded citizens.

Year 3 MYP students at my school are inquisitive, open-minded, and courageous when creating projects for US History units of study.

Your financial assistance is needed to help the students express their creativity by designing a mockup of a Revolutionary War monument.

My Project

Students will create a mockup of a monument to honor the American Revolution and preserve our history. The requested materials will enable them to be creative and courageous in their choice of people, causes, and events to memorialize. Students will strive to create a monument that honors and respects all Americans by connecting the project to current events. Symbolism will be used to convey information which is why the students need these requested materials.

These materials will allow students to communicate their thinking in a tangible way.

The clay and wooden people will be used to make the historical figures associated with the American Revolution. Students will use the paint, paintbrushes, masking tape, foam blocks, craft sticks, tissue paper, and fishing line to create the monument. The paper cups will be used to hold the glue and paint. The glue will be used to secure items to the shoebox.
