My Project

Step into our vibrant World History classroom, where learning transcends textbooks! With your support, we'll bring ancient worlds to life through interactive lessons. Imagine students shaping the Nile River Valley with colorful Play-Doh, visualizing its vital role in Egyptian civilization. Picture them collaboratively drawing the intricate layout of a medieval town using sidewalk chalk, understanding its social structure in a tangible way. These hands-on explorations will ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and create lasting memories. Your contribution will directly provide the Play-Doh and sidewalk chalk needed to make history an engaging and unforgettable adventure for my students.
