My Project

As we celebrate Earth day/month, it's important to introduce my students to a variety of animals that inhabit our earth. I hope that these books will encourage our next generation to learn about new and exciting animals and then want to be stewards for our earth.

Our climate and environment can be saved through education.

In this project, I have included books about animals. Our non-fiction animal section is rather lean and I would love to beef it up with more contemporary books and books about animals the students are interested in.
