My Students
My students are smart! They are readers, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and writers. They love to learn! I am so excited for a new school year and a new group of students to get to know.
My students love learning about the United States but our current set of books about the 50 states is from 1992. They are outdated and need to be updated.
My Project
My students have loved researching the United States and all that makes each state unique! However, our current set of US books is from 1992 and is very outdated. I would love to get this series of US books for my students to use for their research assignment, rather than just all online research. Help me get newer books into my students' hands!
My students have worked very hard researching their states this year; they were excited to research, write, create, and present their information. I would love for them to have newer materials to gain their information from.
