Be-UTAH-ful Learning

Help me give my students books and resources to be able to truly learn about our great state of Utah!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jorgensen's classroom raised $836

My Project

In fourth grade, we learn all about the state of Utah - it's history, it's landforms, the original settlers, and it's future. I want to be able to allow my students to truly learn about our great state and all it has to offer.

Having a library of books devoted to our great state of Utah will provide my students with a variety of resources that they can use to direct their learning journey throughout the school year.

They will be able to not only hear about those landmarks and locations that are unique to Utah, but also view pictures of those places as well. Students will be able to also research landmarks, locations, and the history of Utah and then share it with their classmates throughout the fourth grade year.
