My Project

I teach at a Title I school. My students come from low socioeconomic homes. They do not always have opportunities to be out in nature. I want to give my students experiences with nature by using Natural World and Smithsonian books.

The books I am asking for will allow my students to have experiences with nature for many years to come.

The students will use these books to learn about many different parts of nature.

My goal is for my current and future students to learn about many aspects of nature. Hopefully, they will use these experiences throughout their academic careers.
