My Project

Kindergarten students are naturally curious and just want to learn! I would love to provide my students with books for our classroom that are written at their level! The books chosen are related to several science units including pushes and pulls, plants, personal hygiene, and animal habitats.

Keeping students engaged with quality books will increase their interest and knowledge in science!

The way these books are written allow kindergarteners to expand their knowledge on our science topics, ask questions, and relate new information to their previous learning.

Let's get students excited about science!
