My Project

My students are actively engaged in learning about the world around them. They are always questioning what things could they change to make their lives and the lives of the people around them better. These materials will help us learn about amazing activists around the world.

The voices, actions, and activism of these inspiring people will help my students find their own passions.

We will use these books as inspiration to help us read, write, and create projects all about ways we can change the world around us. Even kids can change the world!
