Help me give my students the novel, The Boy in Striped Pajamas to engage my students in learning history through literature.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lehman's classroom raised $227
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our 8th grade students are bright and inquisitive learners. They are excited to come to school every day and they put their whole hearts into every learning opportunity they take on. Our students love interactive projects and activities that engage all of their learning styles. Our school is a Title I school that receives funding from different sources within the state and federal government. The funds sometimes don't cover all of the classroom needs to ensure that our students are successful.
Despite having the odds stacked against us sometimes, our students love to learn.
In order to continue their love of learning, I would like to provide my students with an engaging text to learn about World War II
My Project
My students have selected World War II as an era that they would like to learn about next. I find that student choice increases engagement and allowing the students to pick what they learn next will keep their minds on through the end of the school year. Please help me put this wonderful novel in their hands to read so that they have a unit infused with both historical fiction and nonfiction to learn from. This year my students have learned about immigration, they have read The Outsiders and Whirligig and now they would like to take their learning to the next level with history.
More than half of students from low‑income households
