My Project
Help Us Bring History and Science to Life!
My students are curious, eager, and full of questions about the world around them, and the people who shaped it.
This project will provide essential resources to help us explore key moments in American history, like the Westward expansion, the writing of the star spangled Banner, the civil rights movement and the lives of inspirational individuals who made our nation a better place. But our learning doesn’t stop at history. We also deep dive into science. From the cycles of nature to the systems of the human body, and even the brilliance of early civilizations. By bringing in engaging books, hands-on tools, and rich content, I want to make both history and science, meaningful, exciting, and accessible for every child in my classroom. With your support, we can Create a learning environment, where students connect the past with the present, build critical, thinking skills, and feel inspired to make a difference in the future. Thank you for helping us grow!
More than half of students from low‑income households
