Making the Ancient World Come Alive

My students need 52 historical titles for an ancient world library to peruse and utilize for projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. CV's classroom raised $562

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are ravenous for a great library of books about the ancient world! The school library has very little, and there are 200 of us!

Our school is a wonderful microcosm of students from all over Los Angeles.

We are incredibly geographically and ethnically diverse. We have students from so many different backgrounds, all coming together to learn together and from each other! Just as our students reflect so many different backgrounds, and experiences, we would like a classroom library that does this, too!

My Project

From researching the life and times of early Mesopotamians, to the great empires of Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome, and others, students love having a great library of resources at their fingertips! Each day students come to class and devour the few books we have on each of the areas we are studying. Having books that make history come alive will make a real difference for our students!

We greatly appreciate your help providing students with the wealth of resources they deserve!

Research shows that having access to books is a huge benefit for all children. It is so inspiring to see students so engaged in their own learning, and books help us to do this!
