The World at Their Finger Tips!

Help me give my students a chance to explore the world through books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Flaim's classroom raised $729

My Project

As we explore the amazing and extraordinary cultures of the Ancient World my students always want to be a part of each world and spend so much time learning about them. I can't take all of them on field trips around the world but I would love to give them a chance to read about them. Help me fill my classroom with books from all different time periods, perspectives and cultures.

Let's send my students exploring through the stories in these books.

Sharing these different perspectives of culture, time periods, discoveries and conflicts can help feed a new passion my students may discover as we move from the Ancient stories of Egyptians to the modern stories of students just like them.
