My Project
I love how curious, thoughtful, and eager to learn my 5th graders are—especially when it comes to science! They ask big questions, dive into new topics, and light up when they discover something new.
To support their growing curiosity, I’m building a classroom collection of engaging science books that will inspire wonder and deepen understanding.
These resources will benefit all students by encouraging independent reading, supporting different reading levels, and giving everyone a chance to explore topics that excite them.
With sturdy storage totes to keep our books organized and bulletin board materials to help students share what they’re reading, this project will create a space where science learning comes alive every day.
