My Project
My school is one of four middle schools in the largest school district in New Hampshire. My students come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and many of my students are English Language Learners.
Many of my nonfiction books are outdated, are too hard for my students to read, and do not reflect the population of our school.
My goal is to rebuild our nonfiction section to better reflect my students and what interests them. This project will help my students make connections with a variety of different STEM topics to help shape their futures and explore new topics.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
