My Project

Will you help me update and add to the social studies books in our classroom library? These books will be used by students during independent reading, social studies research projects, and daily read alouds. Included are character education books, other social and emotional learning stories, and books that showcase Native American, African American, and Asian cultures and stories. Elementary social studies helps students to grow into understanding young men and women who know how to think critically and care for the world around them.

Let's get these books into students' hands!
