Help! My Resource Shelf Needs Resources

I need a small professional resource library for me to provide engaging activities for my students in various areas.

My Project

My passion is to spark curiosity and hook my students' engagement in project-based learning activities. As a teacher, I am passionate about igniting my students' curiosity and engagement through project-based learning activities. My students are like detectives who crave new information and love to find answers, so I always strive to challenge and motivate them. Do you think you can help me achieve this goal?

I believe that learning should not be limited to textbooks, and I always encourage my students to explore beyond the classroom.

To help me plan effective lessons across various disciplines, I would like to fill my resource shelf with books on topics ranging from STEM activities and math projects to ancient Egypt and Greek mythology. Integrating these resources into project-based learning activities incorporating common core skills will be a win-win for my students. Thank you in advance for your support in filling my resource shelf.
