My Project

My students love to learn about scientists that are diverse and picture books are a great way for students to get this exposure. Picture books are awesome for every grade level and are perfect to get students thinking and imagining. We have a devoted time daily for students to have team time and games are a wonderful way for students to get to know each other and build friendships. Our project will help students learn to regulate with books and games.

My students are amazing learners who need the opportunity to think about the world in diverse ways with picture books and games.

7th graders have a lot of energy after lunch and we want to use that energy to build a team of great thinkers by using our time to learn about different scientists and playing games as a class. Please help my students get some new materials to help them grow and learn.
