World History Literacy and Incentives

Help me give my students a classroom library with historical books and energizer snacks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Joy's classroom raised $999

This project is fully funded

My Project

The project I have created is to help incentive my students and have promotional goodies for them to connect with one another. Moreover, by offering snacks, we create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere that helps students stay focused and energized, further fostering their interest in historical studies. The second half of the project is to create a classroom library, which includes primary sources and historical non fiction books. The addition of a dedicated bookshelf ensures these resources are well-organized and easily accessible, promoting a more structured and inviting learning environment.

These improvements align with our goals of deepening historical literacy, promoting independent learning, and increasing student engagement.

Our students, who come from diverse backgrounds and exhibit a strong enthusiasm for learning, benefit greatly from these resources. The books encourage curiosity and critical thinking, while the organized space and snacks support a productive and enjoyable classroom experience. Overall, these enhancements will contribute to a more effective and engaging world history education.
