My students need nonfiction books to learn about the world in which they live!

I teach in an urban low income school district in Pennsylvania. I am a full time supplemental self contained learning support teacher. I have ten students.
One of my main goals this year is to create a classroom family in which my students feel they belong.
My students should be able to enter the school doors each day knowing that their only stress is to do their best. They will be fed, loved, and encouraged.
My students come from very diverse backgrounds. The majority of my students come from single parent homes or are being raised by a relative of some sort. They all qualify for free lunch, and many receive food substitutions as a part of our school's backpack program. Regardless of their home lives, these students enter my room each morning with a bright smile. Their ability to push past daily stress from the outside world is truly amazing.
My students are members of a society that does not focus on history. They are unaware of many important events have shaped the world in which they live. My goals is to provide fun and encouraging ways for my students to learn about the past though the use of literature.
Our school does not have a curriculum for social studies/history, thus leaving the student population largely uniformed.
I do not want my students to grow up in a world in which they cannot understand. I want them to be informed of the people and events that have create this wonderful life for them.
Through the use of literature my students will be able to read and hear about many of this historical events, people, and places of the past. This collection of "Who was?" and "Where is?" books provide engaging stories that are factual and easily understood by young minds.
