My Project

Students often ask for books about a topic they are interested in or are researching.

Building a science library in the room will enable students to peruse and select science topics that are appealing to them.

Researching extreme weather, discovering that scientists had failures and successes, and reading about animals will support deeper dives into the topics we cover in class. Learning about our National Parks, reading stories about scientists who look like them, and reading fun science facts will both support the science material we learn and encourage a love for reading.
