Bringing History to Life in 5th Grade

Help me give my students access to materials to bring history to life. The books provide resources for students to use during projects. The poster boards and markers will provide students with a medium to showcase their learning.

My Project

Lakes and Bridges Charter School specializes in providing quality, multi-sensory instruction to children with dyslexia. I aim to provide high-quality, valuable resources to engage students to be active participants in their learning.

Students with dyslexia thrive when they can showcase their creativity.These supplies will assist students in their learning by providing access to rich resources that will expand their understanding of U.S.

history and project supplies to communicate their knowledge. My goal is for students to create a variety of visuals throughout the year to showcase their understanding of content, as well as build their research and communication skills.
