Cheers to a Good Year

Help me give my students the best opportunities possible. I am a social studies teacher who enjoys incorporating literature in ALL aspects of my classroom. I'd also love to continue to push knowledge of current events!

My Project

These items are a mixture of classroom necessities and advisory needs. As we continue to focus on our social and emotional growth with my eleventh grade advisory, having access to conversation starters and fidgets may continue to assist them.

The books hold a special place in my heart however; throughout the 2025-2026 academic school year I focused heavily on incorporating literacy into my lessons.

These two books in particular are great representations of primary sources for students. They can use these two novels alongside secondary sources to further critically analyze historical context and become REAL historians. Any donations will be greatly appreciated! Happy teaching and God bless!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
