My Students

My students are in the Philadelphia Public School District and I teach Geography as well as American History. I would like to engage my students through their interest in history and I want to do so with more hands-on projects and interactive classroom stations. My students work very hard and are eager to learn.

I am creating a more modern classroom library so that my students may enjoy engaging reading experiences that included many different topics in history.

Students will enjoy independent reading as well as group reading and discussions regarding the History of the United States, Women in History, Black Americans in History, Space Travel, Biographies, Mythology, and past and current event novel series chapter books.

I want my students to have space to make hands-on history art projects so that it reinforces their learning experience and gives a tangible focus for the lessons. Through these reflective and hands-on projects, I hope to make American history geographical education more tangible for my PBL students.

Students always learn better when they can relate to the subject and have something tangible to see and do. Art and libraries with modern chapter books are directly related and tangible.

My Project

My students need to learn through social emotional support projects. It has been shown that yarn arts that include knitting and crochet as well as other fiber arts, help center focus, develop better eye to hand coordination, and through repetitive movements help to allow for a calming activity.

Over the last year, there is no doubt that my students have experienced life altering interruptions with covid and upon their return to the classroom, they will need to readjust to learning in a classroom.

This project will directly address those needs.
