My Project

My upper elementary class is overflowing with an amazing variety of questions and an incredibly rich sense of inquisitiveness—this is best seen when it comes to fully engaging themselves in learning about our great nation and exploring how the complex systems in the world work. They are filled with an earnest and passionate desire to explore fundamental topics like history, government, and geography, and I am truly excited to be in a position where I can encourage that passion and fervor to the best degree possible. Materials that I am requesting will become a priceless treasure trove of resources, acting as vital tools that will aid in bring the topic of social studies to life in ways that are rich with information and dynamic in entertainment, leading finally to a deeper study and development of my students' critical thinking abilities. Through your kind and philanthropic contribution, I can provide challenging and thought-provoking material that makes complex ideas into ideas that are not only easily comprehensible but also fun, thus allowing my students to become well-informed, thoughtful citizens well-equipped to make a positive and meaningful contribution to the world surrounding them.
