Seeing Our World

My students need 12 nonfiction books to help support learning the science curriculum.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Have you ever seen the look on a child's face when they are experiencing the world around them? Young children find wonder in everything they see. I am the lucky teacher of just such children in my third grade classroom.

We have new science curriculum requirements in our district and money is short for supplies. It is easy to get students interested in science inquiry. What I need are nonfiction books available for them to learn more about the topics in which they're interested.

I would like to purchase nonfiction books at many different reading levels to meet the needs of students at all different levels. Students would benefit in the areas of science and informational reading.

Your help will ensure that my students have the necessary materials available to help support their learning.
