My Project

Our fifth grade students are creative, thoughtful, and full of excitement to learn. They are all unique and offer many different perspectives during the learning process. They are very excited to learn more about the Solar System, and some of them even want to become astronauts someday!

To foster the different learning styles of the students, I would like for them to have access to multiple science based learning materials.

These materials include hands-on activities, visuals, nonfiction novels, and so much more! Students will be able to learn about Earth's place in space by studying objects and characteristics of our solar system.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
