My Project

My students love to read. We do several novel studies throughout the year, and our books are getting worn and tattered. I would love to be able to replace the damaged copies so that every student has a copy to be able to utilize as we read.

Last but not least, the students really enjoy circuit activities to explore electricity.

The National Geographic circuits are so easy to use and fun to put together. We would love to add more to our collection for more students to enjoy and explore STEM.
