My Project
As a teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how the right resources can spark curiosity and deepen understanding. Having access to books about civil rights, Jackie Robinson, Helen Keller, and the Great Depression will give my students the context they need to grasp these complex topics.
These stories not only build background knowledge but also inspire important conversations about equality, perseverance, and social change.
With these resources, students are more engaged, ask thoughtful questions, and are better prepared to conduct meaningful research.
These books help bring history to life—and that makes all the difference in their learning.
