My Project

Bringing history to life is the gift I would love help with giving to my students. There is nothing like the excitement of engaging your students in learning about world history. The conversations and "light bulb" moments students experience by deep diving into the past is so rewarding. Creating art, ancient writing tablets, innovations, masks, and more; requires space and storage.

With storage shelves, art drying racks, and art supplies; my students will be able to bring the past to life.

Learning happens in many modalities. My goal is to ignite each student's fire for learning by giving them an artistically immersive experience. Students will also be able to work in groups to challenge their thinking and boost problem solving skills as they create innovations.

My sixth graders are incredibly inquisitive and always excited to experience more. The ability to explore the world through more opportunities of art and STEM, will help our classroom continue to grow their awesome desire to know more. From Ancient Mesopotamia to the Renaissance, your help to fund needs for these world history projects to be made possible are greatly appreciated.
