Nonfiction Books for Young Researchers

Help me give my students a variety of nonfiction books they will want to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tucker's classroom raised $398

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project consists of a variety of nonfiction books from National Geographic kids. Most of the books in this project focus on different animals. In the Spring we do animal research where students pick an animal to research on their own. Having these books will provide our class with more resources to support our research. These books will also be available to my students when they want to read independently, with a partner, or in groups. Other books in the project included other interesting topics for young learners such as books about planets and space.
