My Project

This is a wonderful group of students who constantly question how the world works - from science to geography to the impact of history and the future of our planet. Through Teachers Pay Teachers I can find ways to extend their inquiries and ground their thoughtful ideas. California in particular is the focus. How their state came to be and how it is changing. Other teachers ideas will support my preparation for the work we will do in class. I love the idea of developing and adapting another educators ideas.
