My Project

This collection of books will jump-start children's interest in researching a variety of topics, including many science facts! Students will have access to these books regularly to learn about things that interest them.

Students will grow their reading skills while learning about topics that pique their interest and may even be inspired to write about the topics as well!

The students in my class are special because of how diverse their interests are. From animals and their habitats to outer space and special rocks, the students are always wanting to learn more!
