My Project
This year, I want to give my students tools to help them explore the world around them. I want to help them become curious and wonder about new things they have never thought about before. These general knowledge books encourage students to learn about many different topics. Adding these books to my classroom library will give my students the opportunity to read and explore new ideas and thoughts about topics they are interested in.
Once their curiosity is sparked, they can ask more questions about the topic they want to learn about.
We will do research during class to explore these new ideas they want to learn about. This will help my students become more critical thinkers. They will learn to ask better and deeper questions. These books will be used as a springboard to spark their minds and encourage new thinking.
