So they are veering towards the \"I survived\" series, Nathanial Hale's Hazardous Tales, and the History Smashers. \r\n\r\nMy students have wrapped up a multi-part unit on US States and Capitals, regions, and map skills. Many of my students have used the flashcards in preparation for their 50-state and capital test! The average score on their test was a 85%! Some students expressed that they liked using the games with or without their notes and other classroom materials! \r\n\r\nAs we return from holiday break, we are starting a new unit and diving into the Americas' pre-Columbian era and before European contact. We will be focusing on different Native American tribes throughout the present-day United States and into Central America. To kick off the unit, I will read aloud \"Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story\" written by Kevin Noble Maillard. I will also be displaying the other Native American texts and encouraging my students to sign them out for independent reading. None of this would be possible without your generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1762532667459,"projectUrl":"project/ms-dunton-loves-social-studies-books-an/9838716/","projectTitle":"Ms. Dunton Loves Social Studies Books and Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dunton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10296918_orig.png?crop=1169,1170,x0,y682&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760640751084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10296918"},{"teacherId":10266669,"projectId":9721846,"letterContent":"I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of school supplies—including pencils, a paper cutter, Clorox wipes, snacks, and other essentials.
