Very Short Introductions to Human Ideas

Help me give my students , or rather, help us give our students very short introductions to a wide range of concepts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tom Fackler's classroom raised $169

This project is fully funded

My Project

These items will stimulate curiosity, add short, focused, and informative writings about particular ideas to our collection, and will allow our students to dig more deeply into a particular topic.

Additionally, our teachers will have resources to further expand student learning opportunities and delve more deeply into the subjects they teach thereby working in parallel with students on their curiosities and explorations of a world that, at least through a human lens, sometimes appears to be very large and other times appears to be puny.

After that, our students will find more to read and read and read in a world so full of things to read! And so, each of the ways of being will be a little more open to them.
