My Project

A social studies class just is not a real social studies class without maps! Geography is an essential component to the social sciences and helps create a more complete understanding of history. Maps also build enthusiasm for geography and develop an interest about places beyond one's own border's; they create their own sense of curiosity and discovery.

My scholars are curious and yearn to discover more about their world.

We are asking for maps to aid our understanding of both world and U.S. history. My scholars are striving to become responsible global citizens. It is important that they have the materials that allow them to better understand how to visualize and comprehend the world that they are soon to inherit.
