Sprouting Curiosity: Life Sciences for Kids

Help me give my students access to updated nonfiction books about life sciences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Siebert's classroom raised $333

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our elementary school library needs new nonfiction books about life sciences — and you can help! Engaging books like "What Eats That?: Predators, Prey, and the Food Chain" and "The Amazing Life Cycle of Plants" will help to spark curiosity, support science learning, and build essential reading skills for our students.

By donating, you're helping us provide accurate, exciting resources that inspire future scientists and foster a lifelong love of discovery.

Many of our current life sciences books are outdated, worn, or no longer reflect the latest discoveries. By donating new nonfiction books, you are helping us update and strengthen our library collection, ensuring that students have access to accurate and visually appealing resources. Together, we can cultivate a new generation of thinkers, explorers, and innovators.
