My Project

Help give my students some new books about nature! My students will using these books during independent reading time, during read-alouds, and as books during center time!

Nature is a big topic that comes up during different learning times for all grade levels at my school, and students would love to read about different things having to do with nature!

Reading about gardening, the Earth, rain, birds, and the planets will give them more background knowledge on all things nature! Please consider donating and helping out my classroom and school!
