Expanding Our Views!

Help me give my students the gift of philosophical thinking through engaging reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leyva's classroom raised $444

My Project

This book is the companion to one that we already have and delves into philosophers and their beliefs that are not covered in the first book.

I created and implemented a gifted curriculum on philosophy.

Students learn about philosophical concepts like the ethics, death, beauty and other topics through the lenses of famous philosophers such Socrates, Humes, DeCarte and others.

This second book would expose my students to other philosophers and their beliefs and allow for engaging conversations as we discuss and compare various philosopher concepts within a given topic.
