I teach 5th Grade Social Studies and need something to help grab my students’ attention with US History. My favorite way to yank them is to tell them stories they won't find in their text books. The suggested books are great books to either tell a unique story or see the event from a different perspective. Our school is a Title I school where 85% of our students are on free and reduced lunches. I can only put so much money of my own into the classroom and would not ask the parents because I know that they are hardworking people that need the money themselves.
Help Ms. K.
Your donation will provide Ms. K. with a DonorsChoose.org gift card she can use toward her next classroom project.

"I gave because I liked the selection of the book about the Alamo. It's important for children to know about our state's history and the brave heroes who fought for our freedom."
