Learning About the Great Depression

Help me give my students Bud, Not Buddy, Moon Over Manifest and Turtle in Paradise.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $285

My Project

This project is geared at getting copies of historically relevant texts into the hands of students. As we embark into learning about the stock market exchange and compete in a Stock Market Game competition, these books are the perfect tool to help students understand the relevance and make connections to the Great Depression.

The characters embodied in these stories will bring home the understanding of a critical time period in US history to engage students in continued learning about history, literature and the stock market as we know it.

I have selected multiple copies of each text to ensure students can have individual copies for us to chorally read, take home and fall in love with.
