My Project

Our school's students love to read books that encourage them to try out new skills. From cooking to crafting to constructing, how to books are really popular with our readers. These books inspire students to create and design, helping them to develop spatial reasoning and engineering skills as they generate new designs. It's not unusual to find students poring over the pages of how-to books together in the media center, talking about what they see in the pages and which projects they want to try.

This project will bring our readers new how-to books focused on drawing and on constructing with LEGO to help them grow reading skills as they develop their artistic and engineering chops.

These books will encourage creativity as students build confidence in their drawing and construction skills.

I'm excited to see what our students will create with the help of these books. Thank you for considering supporting our school's community of readers
