My Project
I absolutely love how curious and imaginative my students are. They ask big questions, make deep connections, and are eager to explore the world beyond the walls of our classroom. Their energy and excitement for learning are contagious, especially when we dive into new topics in history.
A class set of The Magic Tree House books will transform how my students engage with the past.
These books will allow them to travel through time with Jack and Annie, experiencing different historical periods in ways that are fun, relatable, and rich with facts. As they read, they'll build critical thinking skills by comparing fiction with nonfiction, researching historical events, and asking thoughtful questions about the world around them. This project supports our goal of becoming thoughtful, independent researchers—and it all starts with the magic of a good book.
