My Project

These hands-on science kits will be used for grades Kindergarten - 5th grade during our summer reading camp! The theme this year is Story Laboratory! We plan to incorporate hands-on science fun along with literature to show the students how science and reading can be taught together. These kits will allow students the opportunity for individual learning as well as collaboration with peers. I can’t wait to see all the fun things that this project will allow for our students! I appreciate your help and support in helping to make summer reading camp fun for all!
