Hands on With Project Based Learning

Help me give my students Scholastic News to help them understand nonfiction text.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. WindRiver's classroom raised $926

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have an amazing group of resilient students. They are hard workers and always try their best. They thrive on kindness and spreading happiness to other kids at school. They are creative and love hands on projects as well as getting into respectful debates about their learning amongst each other.

My Project

The requested resources will be used both in reading and in science/social studies Project Based Learning (PBL). We will use the Scholastic News to better understand non-fiction text standards and address various science and social studies standards. The Scholastic News can be done digitally in the event of a COVID related learning need, such as distance learning. Further, the supplies in this project will be used during PBL. Students will create hands-on projects through inquiry learning. Some projects we will use these supplies for include, but are not limited to, adaptations, space, forces and motion, and art.
