My Project

Help fund my 4th graders Black History/ Women's History Months Wax Museum Project! I hope to use this Donors Choose project to fund a set of "Who Was" books to be used for years to come, as well as tri-fold poster boards and art supplies for all of my students this year!

This project will bring together my students skills in reading, writing and public speaking.

It will cap off with a wax museum project at the end of March, where they will give short reports on their chosen historical figure.
