My Project

Hello,

My goal for these items and this project is to enhance my student library.

We do several research projects throughout the year and I am always needing to find books at their level and interest. During our biography research I tried to have each child have a book on the person they choose but that didn't work, so working on adding more biographies to my collection. Same with our snake research. Trying to add more books so they can use books, rather than rely just on internet articles. I added in some SEL lesson books to enhance what I already do.
