My Project

As a teacher who is returning to the classroom after 13 years, I have found that organizational items are of great importance. Having the tools to Organize primary documents and books will allow my students the opportunity to access these items when needed. It will also help to keep classroom supplies at the ready!

As 5th graders, they are immersed in historical documents to learn more about the Constitition.

I'd love to decorate the entire classroom with patriotic decor because we are not just Americans on July 4th.

These resources will help ensure a firm foundation on how to be a good, participating citizen. Thank you for your support!
