Are you teaching Montana: A History of Our Home?

 

A Favor

I'm reporting back to the funders who helped us publish Montana: A History of Our Home, and am looking for human interest stories to show the impact that the curriculum has had/is having. Has it

• Made your life easier?
• Helped improve your students' learning? 
• Increased the amount of time your spend teaching Montana history?
• Helped you integrate Montana history into your ELA, art, and/or math units?  
• Inspired a student? 

Please let me know by return email. Along with your story, please also include

• your school name
• town
• whether you received books as part of our grants to rural schools
• and let me know whether if it is okay to quote you in my grant reports and/or awards applications.

Don't Forget
