My Project

The final steps to starting this school year on the right track is to stock my new classroom library, create a sensory wall. Fact books are an essential addition for classroom success.

Having non-fiction books in the classroom as a resource for science students to use, in addition to the other classroom resources, will aide in their reserch success for projects.

My science books disappeared last summer during summer school, and after spending the school year looking for them, I am just going to rebuild with some fact books.

Hopefully this gets funded before the school year really gets underway!
