My Project

Please help me give my students some toys, puzzles, and costumes to help them learn about important people and their roles in our US history.

With our new curriculum, our students will be learning about ten individuals who have significantly impacted our country and history.

To help facilitate this learning, my students would benefit from costumes, toys, and puzzles to better understand the content being taught. Students can play the roles by acting out some of the important people. They will learn the geography of the United States by putting puzzles together, and they will learn about famous astronauts, presidents, and a Supreme Court judge.
