My Project
My third grade students attend a very small, rural Pennsylvania school. Our teachers embrace this rural advantage and make the effort to break the mold of the traditional classroom setting by connecting our students to their community and utilizing the plethora of resources that our country setting provides us.
As we all know, public school budgets are under more strain than ever before.
There is such a demand to meet the emotional, behavioral, and academic needs of our students, and the funds to support extracurricular learning just aren't readily available. Science is a passion of mine, and we need to teach our youth to be creative, progressive thinkers to become advocates for Mother Nature. My favorite science topics are taking my students on classroom adventures to our national parks and through the galaxy!
My students engage in two major research projects in their third grade year: planets and United States national parks. This is their first experience with independent research and they need appropriate grade-level texts to support their learning. I'm asking for 3 space books to complete the 'My Universe' collection and 10 national park books that will be shared through art, library, and social studies classes for cross-curricular research projects. These projects will scaffold into higher level synthesis and performance research that they will participate in through fourth and fifth grades.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
