ReinFORCE Our Reading!

Help me give my students the starting motion to read books that are aligned to our curriculum that studies forces, motion, and magnets!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reynolds's classroom raised $446

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am currently a third grade science teacher at my elementary school in Washington, D.C. My scholars are some of the brightest in the city! In science, we like to make science fun and engaging by participating in hands-on learning labs to understand real-life concepts!

Help give us the MOTION to reinFORCE our reading!

In science, one of our units is Using Magnetic Force, where students learn about motion, forces, and magnetism. This is such a big, and somewhat abstract concept. With the addition of these books to our library, these concepts will be reinforced. It is important to have a print-rich classroom, and students are the most engaged when the literature they are reading is age-appropriate and filled with colorful pictures and text features. Help make our library even greater and even more science-y!
