My Project

We are excited to celebrate Earth Day and focus on how we can help take care of our environment.

My students love learning about themselves, our community, our country, and our world.

I have requested books that we can add to our non-fiction library, a globe that is interactive and will allow students to learn about our planet in relation to our environment, and bins to organize our materials so they are easily located and students can begin learning quickly.

Thank you for your thoughtful donation. I can not wait to see my students open their new box of treasures!
