My Project

The TIME for Kids content reading material will help my students build literacy skills and learn social studies content in a differentiated way. I plan to use this material as an enrichment tool for my students and create interactive activities with purpose and intent. We are also in need of a bookshelf for our books.

My goal for this project is to have my students college and career-ready by ensuring each of my students understand the important people, places, and events that made our country a great place to live in and be a great place to be a part of.
