3-2-1.... Blast Off!

Help me give my students outer space resources for our Wit and Wisdom unit.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buffington's classroom raised $169

This project is fully funded

My Project

My school district adopted Wit and Wisdom last year for our reading program. In third grade, we have four modules that we learn about throughout the year. Module 1 is The Sea. Module 2 is Outer Space. Module 3 is A New Home. Module 4 is Art. The curriculum comes with just a few resources for each module.

However, I would like to provide my students with more visuals, models, read-alouds, etc.

I would like to have small replicas of astronauts, space shuttles, books about space, and ways for them to explore the sun, moon, and stars.
