Who Was, What Was, What Is? We Want to Know!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
As a first-year teacher, I am full of passion and drive. I am excited to begin my journey in education and make a difference in the lives of students.
My students are excited and eager to learn! My third graders are full of energy and willing to step outside of their comfort zones to try new things. Each and every student in my classroom is unique and deserves to learn in a way that best fits their individual needs. Above all else, I strive to create meaningful learning experiences for every child.
My Project
My students will learn about several important people throughout history who have shaped our world, while also understanding how biographies are written. Students will present a report based on the book they have read and create their own biography.
This project will ensure that a piece of history is put into the hands of each individual student. The "Who Was" books will support several components of our learning, including reading, writing, and presentation skills. Students will be able to read at their own pace and thoroughly understand how their person left an impact on the world that we live in today.
