Journey to the Past: NYC Edition

My students need the chance to experience, apply, and extend social studies by engaging in an interactive tour of New York City in which the past and present collide.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ramos's classroom raised $913

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school is a Title I school from Harlem, NY. Despite the many economic and personal challenges the children face, they come to school with the spirit and determination to learn. The majority of our students come from low-income households and shelters near the area.

They are curious and inquisitive individuals who thrive when challenged with appropriate curriculum and learning materials.

All children should have access to curriculum-enhancing materials no matter their backgrounds. Your donation will truly make the difference in their lives. Thank you so very much for your consideration!

My students are very motivated to learn and I am very proud to be their teacher. I hope to inspire them to become successful someday by instilling in them the value of hard work, patience, and perseverance.

My Project

In social studies, we are learning about New York City and how it has changed over time. Making personal connections to the material is a challenge since the past is an abstract concept for many second graders. This trip will expose students to New York City's past using interactive virtual reality while viewing the present. It will provide the children with the opportunity to compare and contrast parts of New York City.

Where poverty holds children back from achieving their full potential, I believe it is important to open their minds to the depth of interaction they can have through hands-on experiences.

I hope you can help me make this possible for my students. Thank you so much!
