Tangible American History

Help me give my students the gift of social studies. My students are the best and mean the world to me but we also lack some of the funding for them to have posters and materials.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The items I have picked for my classroom are all great pieces of tangible accessories that will benefit my students learning in American History. I work in a low income title 1 neighborhood that does not receive a lot of funding. Therefore I would like to ask any generous donor to help me achieve my dream of having an interactive history classroom. When I think of the best classrooms I have visited, I have noticed that students love to touch and see things from history. I would love to get those things for my students, to help widen their perspective of American History! Thank you so much!
