Puzzling American History!

My students need fun ways of interacting with American History. I was delighted by the excitement my class had over the WW II poster puzzle. Relaxing puzzles and games support learning in social studies and science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dewey's classroom raised $248

My Students

My students live in a neighborhood afflicted by poverty. Parents work two to three jobs. Parents do all they can but the demands of providing for housing and food often leave families strapped to provide the "extra enrichment" of zoo trips, new release books, educational camps or summer programs, or even after school activities. The students in my class face many harsh realities of a life of poverty. Despite the uncertainty of their home lives, the classroom provides them encouragement, stability, and crucial skills.

Children's natural curiosity will fade if they are not stimulated to develop problem solving strategies through classroom instruction, feedback, and practice.

Research is documenting the hardship poverty creates in education. Over 51 percent of students in our school receive free or reduced-price meals and a third of them are native Spanish speakers. These are my students and they desire to build a better life for themselves.

Sharing my passion for learning is an underlining goal for my year. Having interest and curiosity for the world and how everything fits together is so important for these students.

My Project

The American Revolution, the Civil War, the War to End All Wars are just a few of the globe changing roles the United States filled in the 20th century. Puzzles teach content as well as entertain. As students piece together the history of the country, they learn to appreciate the freedoms it was built upon. These puzzles will correspond with the units of study in our history timeline.

History themed jigsaw puzzles and games are relaxing ways to reinforce our social studies curriculum during recess and free time!

Each time a student recalls information relating to our past, it creates stronger neural pathways. Regular and varied memory tests results in learning.
