My Project
Science is a fun way to learn about the world around us and my students are non traditional learners. Most non-fiction books use too much language and my student are unable to follow along. Adding these books to my classroom library will give my students access to their grade level topic in a format that is appropriate for them.
Using familiar characters and lots of pictures helps students stay engaged during learning. These books will help me introduce science topics that I will then develop lessons to further explore the topics.
This classroom project was brought to life by Dalio Education
