My Project

Our bookshelves need a face lift and we need somewhere comfy to read. This new collection of nature-focused books will shine a light on the beauty of the natural world and inspire students to make changes in their own lives. I love adding collections to our classroom library that bring focus to important ideas.

These books and new rugs will be well-loved and appreciated.

Students' knowledge will expand and grow as their appreciation for the natural world is fostered. Our research projects will also benefit as students are able to reach for new topics for argumentative and informative writing.

Mrs. Sterling will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 24.

Mrs. Sterling
Grades 6-8
