I am a third-grade teacher in Camden, NJ. All of my students come from diverse family and cultural backgrounds. I am fortunate to teach these wonderful students and provide them with the best fundamentals I can give. Each student works hard and their efforts are shown daily. My students love hands on activities, reading and learning new things. Any opportunity to show and expand their minds on what the world has to offer is important to me. I look forward to providing them with options to explore and become interested in people who made history.
My Project
My third-grade students truly enjoy reading books. Teaching in Camden, NJ, I quickly realized my students did not know about important people in history and how they affected historical events.
The passion I have for history excites my students; when I tell them stories they wanted to learn more.
When I describe people like Anne Frank, Amelia Earhart, or George Washington, they are unsure who these important people are. My students are unable to connect these people to important historical events. My students recently received some books about historical places and by providing them with more books, they can connect people in history. My project is to create a great library of books to encourage my students to read and learn about historical people.
