My Project

My third grade students love learning about the world around them, especially the natural world. They ask frequently for more books on our science topics, and I would love to have more books for them to read - and space to organize it by topic to make it easier for students to access what they are searching for.

They are fascinated by our studies about biomes, ecosystems, scientists, weather, fossils, and animals.

I want to encourage my students to be curious, to think critically and creatively, and to help them understand more about the world around them. Having an accessible science library in our classroom would be a huge asset in cultivating these skills!
