My Project

My students have shown an interest in learning more about our planet. Every day we have thirty minutes for small reading groups. I break my class into small groups. Each group works on reading a chapter book. They read and then write about what they wrote each day.

While working on reading skills my students would love to learn about their planet!

They would love to learn more about the climate and the environment of Earth. Students will work together reading the books, writing about what they read and then take an AR quiz after they have read the book.

This year we had the opportunity for science on wheels to come. The theme was space. Students were engaged the whole day and loved learning about our planet and others. They would love these books to be able to read with their small groups! We would greatly appreciate any help you can give to our room!
