Help us keep our classroom basic necessities station stocked!
We are a classroom that is committed to providing all of our students with the resources they need to succeed. That's why we have created a classroom basic necessities station, where students can access essential items like toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, and more.
We don't need any school supplies for our classroom, but we would love your help in keeping our basic necessities station stocked. Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. You can donate through our classroom Amazon Wish List, or by sending them with your child to school.
Why is studying history important?
"It’s a common misperception that studying history simply involves remembering people, events, key dates, and places etc. The who, what, when and where types of questions are just the start of it. "
Tony Joel
"If we refuse to listen to history, we will find ourselves fabricating a past that reinforces our understanding of current problems."
David Crabtree
"History moves in cycles rather than in circles, and things do not simply happen over and over again... But the past is deeply embedded in our responses to the present and even the best-laid plans for the future."
Howard Markel
"A good educational system should help people to study History more formally, more systematically, more accurately, more critically and more longitudinally."
