Mr. Aminifu’s 8th Grade U.S. History

My Project

I love to supplement my instruction by using various resources other than the issued textbook. Teaching from multiple perspectives is a must in my teaching philosophy. A Different Mirror for young readers gives the students a diverse perspective about American history. Backpacks are always needed for some students who don’t have supplies. The other items will enhance my approach in teaching America’s story. Unfortunately, I need at least 35 of each for a class set. But your donation will help offset the cost that students have to pay for additional readings. Thanks for your support.
