My Project

My students love learning about Idaho history. They are fascinated by stories of the Native Americans, fur traders, pioneers and homesteaders.

With a variety of both fiction and nonfiction resources, my students can expand their knowledge through independent reading, then use the provided materials to depict realistic scenes.

I look forward to offering my students a chance to work collaboratively as they imagine, discuss and create a visual representation of times long past. I have students who struggle academically but are talented artistically and I can't wait to let them shine!
