FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raub's classroom raised $516

My Students

My students are in the Philadelphia School District and I teach Geography as well as American History. I would like to continue to reach my students through their interest in history and I want to do so with a hands-on project.

I am creating a more modern classroom library so that my students may enjoy an in class reading experience that included many different topics in history.

Students will enjoy independant reading as well as group reading and discussions regarding the History of the United States, Women in History, Black Americans in History, Space Travel, Biographies, Mythology, and past and current event novel series chapter books.

I want my students to have space to make hands on history art projects so that it reinforces their learning experience and gives a tangible focus for the lessons. Through these reflective and hands-on projects, I hope to make American history geographical education more tangible for my PBL students.

Students always learn better when they can relate to the subject and have something tangible to see and to do. Crafts, Art, and Quilting are directly related and tangible to Historical Studies. I hope to use art quilts to achieve a superior and interactive experience.

A classroom library will improve students reading levels, interest in reading, and will also improve their interest in learning the historical events that shaped America.
