My students are creative and thrive when they can do hands-on projects.
We live in a very rural area, so I am trying to add more puzzles, games, and activities that give my students opportunities to explore the wide world and learn about amazing new cultures and places.
We are also working on reading, so I would love to have more choices for my students to chose from to encourage reading growth.
My Project
Adding these geographical resources will make a huge difference in my classroom, to inspire my students as they grow in geography and learn about the world around them!
Using hands-on activities like puzzles, and board games, my students will be able to engage better with the information and test each other's knowledge, the books will encourage them to read about places they have never heard of- and encourage their reading!
A huge teacher win in my book!
The teacher books will enable me to create inquiry-based world history lessons for my students. I want my students to be enthralled with the world we live in, encouraged to go and see the world beyond our backyard, and be inspired to learn about other cultures and places and these resources would make an amazing difference!
