My Project

I have the privilege of teaching an inspiring group of students who are not only brilliant but also deeply committed to learning and growing. I am passionate about creating an engaging, interactive environment where they can connect with the material and see the relevance of history to their lives.

For this project, I am seeking supplies that will help bring their social studies notebooks to life, making learning more interactive, colorful, and memorable.

These resources will allow me to enhance the learning experience and make our classroom a space for creativity and collaboration.

Colored Cardstock: This will allow students to create visually appealing interactive elements in their notebooks, like flashcards, timelines, and maps.

Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Card: With this gift card, I can purchase teacher-created resources tailored specifically for social studies. This will allow me to access ready-made, high-quality materials that are designed to engage my students in deeper learning and to align with our curriculum.

Candy: It’s a fun incentive that motivates my students to stay on task and gives them a tangible reward for their effort and hard work.

North Carolina Dailies Workbook: This workbook will support my students’ study of North Carolina’s history and geography, helping them develop a deeper connection to the state they call home. It offers daily practice and reinforces key concepts, helping my students grasp important topics and build a strong foundation in social studies.

Each of these materials is crucial in providing my students with the tools they need to succeed. They’ll help foster a love for learning, develop critical thinking skills, and create lasting memories that connect them to the world around them.
