My Project

Curriculum has a component for History Day project

The materials needed will allow the students to be creative in examining historical perspectives and times in history to another level..

The gift cards allow me to purchase materials to give my students availability to primary sources and photos. This will open a whole new world of ideas for students to create beautiful and informative boards that tell the entire story of what their history day protect means and what it means to them. In the end it will be something they are proud of.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
