My Project

Making History Happen: Supporting Our Social Studies Classroom

My middle school social studies students are on a journey to understand the past, navigate the present, and shape the future.

To truly bring history and civics to life, we need more than just textbooks; we need a classroom that empowers dynamic learning every day.

This project aims to secure essential miscellaneous supplies that will ensure our year runs smoothly and effectively. From Cornell notebooks and paper that help my students truly gain a deeper understanding of what they are learning, to a classroom rug and snacks that allow for a more comfortable and welcoming environment, these items are the unsung heroes that support everything we do. They enable engaging group projects, clear visual aids, and a more organized, productive learning environment for every student.

Your contribution, no matter the size, directly impacts our ability to foster critical thinking, encourage active participation, and make social studies an immersive and exciting experience for these young historians. Help us equip our classroom for a year of discovery and success!
